Selecting all but X when updating? [SOLVED]
I tried an pacman -Syu but I got a new kernel with the package so I declined. However I'd like to install all those packages except the kernel and it's utils. Do I have to select all packages manually or can I just exclude some of them?

you can add an 'IgnorePKG = your_package' line to your pacman.conf

You can also ignore as part of the pacman command, without editing the conf file, like this:
pacman -Syu --ignore kernel26Offline

man pacmanWill tell you all this and more!
Not trying to be a total ass and troll (too late I guess), but you really should read the man page of a program before posting to the forums. I mean, c'mon. Most program's will talk about most features in their man page.
