How to make minimal gnome instalation

Hi
I have a big problem with pacman. I'm trying to make a minimal gnome installation.

(...) An option will be given to install all or some of the packages in this group. (...)

Thats from http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME
But when i type pacman -S gnome i can only answer yes or no for installing whole group. Is there a way to not install everything??

not anymore with pacman 3.4.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Installing gnome and gnome-extra together and then removing gnome-extra should work.

EDIT: Sorry didn't see that this seems to be a pacman problem. I made it with a previous version of pacman.
