Which is probably why the kde flag does NOT pull in all that stuff. |

You can't on the one hand tell portage to build the packages with support |
| 14 |
for some other packages, then on the other hand complain that they are |
| 15 |
dependencies. Note the KDE is not and never will be part of @system, by |
| 16 |
your own post that still contains 50 packages, it is your choices that |
| 17 |
have created the huge dependency list for @system. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Save the output of emerge -epvt @system to a file, or print it out, then |
| 20 |
work through to see which choices you have made that created this list of |
| 21 |
dependencies. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Or accept that they were going to be installed anyway, as part of @world |
| 24 |
if not @system, and do something useful with your life :) |

Incorrect. You can install KDE without the kde USE flag, none of the |
| 31 |
packages in kde-meta respect the kde USE flag. |
