not open sync database:reponame have you used –refresh yet?” but when I
run pacman –refresh it does nothing?!

*A)*This error is due to your inability to read man pages. We
recommend you try the pacman man page – it really is very useful.

I also agree that it's probably not for an absolute beginner, however if 
you can read a wiki or a forum then I see no reason why a so called n00b 
shouldn't give Arch a go.

I see no excuse for arrogance or rudeness people that do that can "Get 
off my lawn." thank you very much.
