Re: [newbie] Uninstall KDE
You need some KDE libraries in order to be able to run some applications writtten for KDE. Check the box in "Remove Software" and see what messages come up - it will give you a list of programs which will also be reomved because of dependencies. Do give it a try - I am sure you will see something that you would miss. I tried it once, and ended up having to reinstall everything when I realised how cool KDE is! Even if there is nothing there now, you may find that there is an app that you want to install, and that relies on a KDE app, which will (may) entail you reinstalling everything again. I know it increases the complexity of the system, but if you can spare the 30-100meg I would leave it.

Though you use Gnome, as I did at one point, KDE has many programs that are quite useful. For instance, I prefer Konqueror over Galeon and Mozilla, and I don't think it's possible to use Konqueror without KDE installed. I'd advise against it, but do as you wish --Marc > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Uninstall KDE
When I installed Mandrake 9.2 I decided to install both KDE and GNOME. I have been happy with GNOME so far and so I would like to take KDE off my computer. Is there any advantage to keeping KDE even if I never use it? Also can I just go to the "Remove Software" manager and check the KDE box? Thanks __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
