Hi all,
i'm an happy user of archlinux since a lot of years but i think my system is a bit messed up right now.

i'ld like to reinstall it, so can you suggest me what configuration files i can save for the installation? so i don't have to reset them properly

thanks a lot
Nico

Configs are usually in your home dir or in ~/.config and in /etc - you should have been backing them up.

for as reguard /etc... they are too much. i just need to save the 3-4 important archlinux configuration files...

So pick the ones you've edited e.g:
- rc.local
- rc.conf
- mkinitcpio.conf
- makepkg.conf
- inittab
