Reinstallation: files that should have a backup copy somewhere.

I thought this might come in handy for people new to archlinux.

main configuration: /etc/rc.conf

xorg:                      /etc/X11/xorg.conf
apache:                /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
php:                       /etc/php/php.ini
mpd:                     /etc/mpd.conf

conky:                      ~/.conkyrc
firefox w/ ext.         ~/.mozilla
opera w/ themes    ~/.opera


add up your favorite application.

/var/cache/pacman/pkg/* (assuming you don't do a pacman -Scc)

Re: Reinstallation: files that should have a backup copy somewhere.

I'd backup my whole ~/ and /etc/ because there are all the important files. Off course, there's a lot of crap, you don't *have* to backup in /etc/, but you won't regret it, I guess.

Otherwise I like to add the following files:

vim ~/.vimrc
irssi ~/.irssi
bash ~/.bashrc


Hail to the thief!
