I think I got it:
[10:58 archangel:/opt/kde] # ( IFS=$'\n'; for i in $(pacman -Q | grep kde |
grep -v kdemod3); do echo "remove: ${i%%\ *}"; done )
remove: kdebase-runtime
remove: kdelibs
remove: kdemultimedia
remove: kdesvn
[10:58 archangel:/opt/kde] # ( IFS=$'\n'; for i in $(pacman -Q | grep kde |
grep -v kdemod3); do pacman -Rs ${i%%\ *}; done )
