"emerge -1av kdebase-meta" will bring in a basic KDE desktop, including what you mention. "emerge -1av konsole kwin kicker pager kalarm" is quicker and should give you what you need. either way, follow it up with "emerge kde-meta" or pick and choose the packages you want rather than installing everything KDE, it's one of the advantages of the split ebuilds. > Dang, but this is a lot to figure out and trust that > I've got it right while I destroy my ability to > ask for help if I get it wrong. You use gmail, so as long as you have a desktop (twm is included with xorg) and a browser (firefox?) you can communicate. > What's the name of the gizmo that puts the clock in my panel/taskbar? > Is that > a panel or a taskbar, and will a mistake in terminology prevent my > system from > ever looking like this again?
