Restart with Archlinux

Hello guys. I'm trying to use Linux again. In the past I allready used Archlinux and I want to use it again.
I want Gnome, so can someone tell me the packages names for the install process. I want Gnome, the X server, the fonts, and thats all. Thanks guys.
PS. Sorry for the english.

Re: Restart with Archlinux

After the initial install of arch from .iso to your machine, pacman must be initiated.

       

  pacman -S pacman

If your pacman.conf has "CORE" instead of "current" you may proceed to use pacman.  If not, change "current" to "core" in the repo and the server(s).

Then you can load:

     

 pacman -Sy gnome

Good to see you back home!
