Re: Is this considered as system reinstallation ?
why do you care if it's a reinstall?
it sounds like you removed your previous install and started over, so what do you think?

Re: Is this considered as system reinstallation ?
how does it matter what its "considered" ?? If you have to do it or if you want to do it -- just do it !!
Or tell us what exactly is the problem so someone can help you
EDIT : Bah !! 6 seconds too late.

The question is why would you want to re-install a rolling release distro, unless you messed something up so bad that its easier to re-install than to recover.

Re: Is this considered as system reinstallation ?
It's probably not the same as a reinstallation. Most of your configurtions will be left behind, and if you delete those, you might just as well reinstall properly.
