1 Hello,
2
3 after some suggestions from the list I finally emerged KDE to give it
4 another try. Even with 256 MiB of RAM, it works quite acceptably, save
5 for the startup time. However, I notice it has installed all sorts of
6 marginally useful and ultimately resource consuming software such as
7 KWallet. Now, I realise the risks of keeping passwords scattered all
8 around (sometimes even unencrypted), but in my environment it's not
9 that great a priority.
10
11 I would like to know if unmerging KWallet (also the eduitainment suite
12 and possibly even Kopette and Konqueror) is safe. How can I tell for
13 other packages? Is emerge --unmerge enough or do other measures have
14 to be taken? Also, in the case of a fresh install, how can I choose
15 what KDE installs? Do I have to run emerge kde, or would kdelibs,
16 kdebase, etc (along with their dependencies of course) suffice?
17
18 Thanks in advance and sorry if I am being ambiguous (it's late)
