MODULES & DAEMONS

One thing that has been a prevalent problem for me thus far is having certain programs not work since I didn't have a couple of Daemons/Modules enabled for boot-ups. Can anyone give me a typical list of each to run for a full gnome/xfce environment, with ati gfx?

Oh yeah, is there any good way to catch the info that passes by when pacman starts installing packages? A lot of those important tips fly by so quickly that I can't catch them. I know how to deal with that in the Desktop, but how do I handle this before that is installed?

Arch = Debian + Gentoo + Bleeding edge software - annoyances.

I beleive you should check KDE / Gnome's wiki page for the list of daemons they require:

GNOME: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gnome

KDE: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE

I know GNOME doesn't require any modules just daemons, not sure about KDE.

You can pause the text output in a terminal by pressing ctrl+s and ctrl+q to start it again. You'd think this is dangerous if your used to windows but it's totally super-fluffy-bunny-safe. Also there's logs for "everything" in /var/log/ so you could also check pacman.log in there.
