install archlinux on a new computer

I want to install archlinux on a new computer and install all the packages installed on my current computer.
Is there any way to make this work easier?
how can I  make the config file both in home dir and in etc dir the same?
Can I just copy the etc dir to my new computer?

thx~

Re: install archlinux on a new computer

Yes, you can copy the whole dir, but you might end up with some unneeded files.  I would configure the new system part-by-part like you did for the first one, but with the adantage that you can simply replace the files instead of editing them.  Same thing for the "home" config files, just pick the ones that actually exist on your new system and copy them. And when you install a new program you can do the same with its own config files.  It's a bit more tedious, but it's cleaner and more instructive.
