Going back to the basics.

I love Arch, don't get me wrong and I used to love Gnome but I have been having a lot of problems with it and, particularly with it crashing so I want to uninstall pretty much all the software I have have on my system and start again.  By this I mean all of Gnome and things like OpenOffice pidgin, etc and just leave the core installation, Xorg and my wireless drivers and start again from there and then install XFCE and the apps that I want again.  So I guess whatr I am asking is there an easy way to do this?

Re: Going back to the basics.

pacman -Q lists all installed packages. Go through the list, remove what you don't want.
