How do I find out what ebuilds that really means? The basics are installed by 'kdebase-startkde', which grabs dependencies, incl 'kdelibs', which you could start with, if you want. Then install whatever you want from 'kde-base/', eg 'konqueror', 'konsole'. >> Using the latter (3.5.1), I have a lot of separate KDE packages installed >> & no 'libungif.la' but instead 'libgif.la', >> which comes from 'media-libs/giflib-4.1.4'. > I really don't want to have to use masked packages, > as the machine in questions is my primary desktop at work. 3.5.1 is in "testing" (~) & it's only the ebuilds which might have problems. I've been using it for 1 week & it's quite stable & reliable; before that, 3.5.0 also gave no problems despite also being "testing". The Gentoo KDE devs really are a bit too conservative (smile). KDE is slotted, so 3.4.1 should remain available & before you remove it, you can use 'quickpkg' to make a binary, if you're really paranoid. You may need to change references from '3.4.1' to '3.5.1' here & there in order to use your old configs & such. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : purslow@chass.utoronto.ca ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
