Sorry about this Bruce, but I think KDE is completely wrong to bundle everything into these mega-packages. They are just a lot of programs that are designed to work well together. That's the original UNIX paradigm - lots of individually simple programs that can be combined to do complicated things. KDE breaks the paradigm, and so did monolithic X. At last we now have X distributed 'proper', so we can exploit the UNIX paradigm again.
You will be happy to know that the Gentoo guys have managed to break the 15 KDE meta-packages up into 300+ smaller pieces. See <http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-split-ebuilds.xml>. -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/
