I accidentally uninstalled a program
The program is dmapi, and it's essential for boot 
. I have other computers and a liveCD. How do I reinstall it?

Boot the live CD, chroot into your Arch install, reinstall the package.

Just curious... did pacman not give any warnings before you removed it?

Re: I accidentally uninstalled a program
You shouldn't even need to chroot, just use the --root option to pacman

Re: I accidentally uninstalled a program
I have to go for the rest of the day, but I'll answer some stuff here first.
@ozar: no warnings.
@fukawi2: I tried that, so I guess that means dmapi is not the only problem. Am I right?
I also updated my system before accedentally uninstalling dmapi. Time for a reinstall maybe.
