You probably want to set the VISUAL environment variable to control |
| 18 |
what editor is used by crontab, etc. |

If you want to use a different shell, just emerge it, and run 'chsh' |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
As for gnome, if you just 'emerge gnome', you get the whole thing... |
| 27 |
otherwise just emerge the program you want... the same goes for KDE. |
| 28 |
If you don't want all of kde, but you do want konqueror, just do |
| 29 |
'emerge konqueror'. |
