Install X and window manager - there is a lot of info in there, and I believe that it's step by step.

The gist of it is something like:

Code:

# pacman -Syu
# pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xf86-video-nvidia xf86-input-keyboard xf86-input-mouse xfce4 xorg-xdm
# X --configure
# mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

...Although, this may have changed since the last time I installed an X server on an Arch box (cba reading TFA, sorry!)

Change pacman mirror list, edit /etc/pacman.conf/mirrorlist, comment out (or delete) everything apart from the UK entries.
