See the thread form a couple of hours ago, but one easy way is emerge -Ca $(ls /var/db/pkg/kde-base) > I like having as many kde apps installed as possible.

I think you have misunderstood the purpose of the meta packages. They are simply empty packages that depend on various other packages. The old kde package was a meta-package that depended on the various monolithic builds, now there is a meta-package to replace each of the monolithic builds that depends on the split packages. kde-meta depend on all the split ebuilds. > Comments and Recommendations on kde-meta's future? The meta-packages won't be going away, they are even more important with the split ebuilds. they aren't exclusive to KDE either; gnome, gnome-light and xorg-x11-7* are all meta packages. -- Neil Bothwick Our bikinis are exciting. They are simply the tops.
