Hi
I am wondering how can i reinstall my system without whole install/boot process - meaning without rebooting and ISO,... I mean i have a fully working system but someday i might want to rebuild my system without reformatting,... So, i just want to have my base group and remove all others (xorg, xfce4,.. groups). How can i achieve this?
thx for help

If you have ruby installed…
ruby -e 'puts `pacman -Qq`.split - `pacman -Qqg base`.split'This gives you the list of installed packages that are not in the base group.
If you don't want to use ruby or don't have it, i'm sure it's possible in bash too. The important part is that you can list the packages that are in a certain group with "pacman -Qqg base"
