Let's assume I could live without any Mozilla products or Gimp, and want a system free not just of Gnome but also of GTK. Let's say I'm deaf, and no speakers will ever be attached to the system, which has an onboard sound chip rather than a PCI sound card I could simply remove. What would it take to eliminate this apparent KDE dependence on GTK (and sound support)? How "portable" is a sound event library that makes KDE depend on GTK? For now, I've cut USE down to only "bash-completion ncurses samba slang xattr", but it hasn't helped me to get everything I need to work outside of X. Until I have working NFS and NUM state obeying the BIOS, I have little interest in what's required to make X functional, and no interest in audible notifications. BTW, my 3rd kernel did solve my video on ttys problem, and get me access to my EXT2 partition. :-) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
