I'm a beginner at arch linux and this is my first time to get it install correctly. Now I want to install it on another computer of mine however I want to avoid installing unneccasery software that came preinstalled with gnome. What would be the best way in acheving that ? Currently I'm using (to sort of packages that is not required by other packages):
#! /bin/bash
ignoregrp="base base-devel"
ignorepkg=""
comm -23 <(pacman -Qqt | sort) <(echo $ignorepkg | tr ' ' '\n' | cat <(pacman -Sqg $ignoregrp) - | sort -u)
Thank you
Sorry if this was a badly ask question

preinstalled? Is this Arch? Nothing related to Gnome comes preinstalled.

What means you,
unneccasery software that came preinstalled with gnome.
As you know, nothing but core comes pre-installed on Arch. How did you install Gnome? What guide did you follow? What do you regard as (sic)unneccasery?

I followed the beginner guide and procceed to install xorg bumblebee driver and gnome and gnome-extra.
I meant the gnome game and some other softwares that I didn't use.

So it's simply, don't install entire groups.

So instead of pressing enter and getting all the default setting I should write out the application or software that I want to be install?
(eg. 1, 3, 20 etc)

Yes, or if the group of packages that you don't want is smaller than the one you want exclude specific ones with ^ (^2,^3) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … age_groups

Code is the best source of documentation
I had the idea of implementing negative selections with a minus sign the other day. And found that it was already implemented in the source code.
