I have to agree. Do it sort of like KDE, with kde, kde-meta or as |
| 44 |
seperate packages. Have it so you can pull in all three in one emerge |
| 45 |
command but have the option to do it seperately as well. I have only |
| 46 |
emerged glx once and do the nvidia-kernel when I change kernels. I |
| 47 |
really don't have any use for the settings package, as long as my GUI |
| 48 |
works anyway. |

Just give us some options. We'll be happy then. |

| 63 |
2: Home built; Iwill KK266-R w/ AMD 1GHz CPU, 256MBs of ram and a 4GB drive. |
| 64 |
3: Home built; Gigabyte GA-71XE4 w/ 800MHz CPU, 128MBs of ram and a 2.5GB drive. |
| 65 |
4: Compaq Proliant 6000 Server w/ Quad 200MHz CPUs, 128MBs of ram and a 4.3GB SCSI drive. |
