Hi,
I have managed to get 1000 packages installed on my system [that the pacman ones I know about!]
Thinking it may be time to reinstall, possibly when 0.8 comes out
Wondered if pacman -Rs or -Rs would do what I want
Do have Kde and Gnome installed [terrible I know!] but I cannot live without Konqueror
/dev/sda3 ext3 19G 16G 2.1G 89% /
thats running / near the edge ouch!
removing just packages may not be the whole answer
any tips would be grateful

@Dusty do not think I could install Arch again, been so long......

clean /tmp
pacman -R has never really failed me.
why do you need to install KDE to run konqueror? Just install qt and leave out all the other KDE bloatware.

yeah knoqi should just require kdebase

Clean cache for a start ..... will check out konqi ... emmm theres a thought
/dev/sda3 ext3 19G 5.0G 13G 28% /

the search for waste continues......

Remove obsolete directories from pacman database with yaourt
yaourt --clean --database

Check out this script by phrakture: http://phraktured.net/config/bin/pacorphans
It lists all packages nothing else depends on. Uninstall packages it lists which you're sure you don't need, then rerun the script to see what other packages you don't need have been freed... and repeat.
I've "refreshed" my own arch install this way once. Because of the beauty of the package manager, only some config files are left behind by removed packages, so it's almost as if those packages were never installed. Then you just have to clean up your homefolder, and delete hidden settings directories left behind by those packages. Or setup a new user and copy over the documents and settings you want to save.

FYI: A handy tool to find space-eaters: filelight
Haven't been here in a while. Still rocking Arch.

is there anything like filelight without the kdelibs as a dep ?
There shouldn't be any reason to learn more editor types than emacs or vi -- mg (1)

I like jdiskreport (java) because it doesn't need installing:
