Hell there, Paul here.
I'm pretty new, and new to this forum so hey xD
I had a perfect running system with everything set how I wanted, so I don't really want to reinstall this time.
So there are various files that I messed up, I can't remember them fully but mkinitcpio.conf, rc.sysinit and innittab I remember. It's not like I could repair them, I changed them tooo much. I tried replacing them with the backups but the backups were the same for some reason?
So my issue here is, I need to get original, or working ones and replace them which I can do from a live disk.
Then I don't know what it's called but the command mkinitcpio -p kernel26 it.
I've found out that you can chroot to my environment from the live disk, If I don't have that I know how to get it.
My problem then is how to get work configuration files for my system, and if I've made any mistakes in the above xD
Thanks so much!

Just had a great idea!
I install arch again on another partition, that should get me the files I need
I'll try that and report back how it goes.

Oh that's smart, I'll try that first!
So that worked a charm, had a little trouble with chroot at first but I managed! Thank you!
