Just remove all kde-base stuff from world, use --depclean --pretend to see what wants to be removed, and add things back in with the --noreplace option. The only thing I would caution on are the artsplugin-foo packages, particularly artsplugin-xine, artsplugin-audiofile, and artsplugin-akode. Removing these can have some strange effects on kde, like refusing to play certain media files. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
