Why don't you just put it into xargs? Then install via pacman?

pacman -Qq > packages.list #save this file
#on new computer copy file anywhere
pacman -S `cat packages.list`

So, anybody would like to make a preconfigured installable Arch environment?

That could also save time for every time I do reinstall, since that sucks and it does a lot (but i still like to do it xD)

xD
I've always wanted to do that with Openbox.
The idea of a full featured easy to use openbox setup is new as far as I know.

you're describing crunchbang linux I think... ubuntu with openbox

I would be satisfied with a way to currently export all of the pacman packages I have installed, and then, when I am installing a new system somewhere, to import that list, and then pacman will install all those packages automatically..
I guess I can so it.. probably a simple script if I wasnt so lazy..

pacman -Qte|awk '{print $1}'>asdf

and then

xargs sudo pacman -S < asdf

AIF will contain a procedure so that you just need to specify a config file (that points to your disk layout, package lists, etc) and it will do an automatic/unattended install. See http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=58110
