I don't know how Gnome is set up, but all you need for a KDE installation is |
| 8 |
to emerge kde-base/kdebase. It will pull down arts, kdelibs, and any other |
| 9 |
system lib dependencies you don't already have. The dependencies in these |
| 10 |
builds are relatively minor. If you don't already have Qt it will pull that |
| 11 |
in as well (rather large). |

I don't see how this can be construed as "too many dependencies". On my |
| 14 |
P4-2200 this whole process takes about 2 hours. Before high speed broadband, |
| 15 |
it used to take me that long just to download the source code. |

Now, if you start installing all of the other *optional* kde packages (games, |
| 18 |
multimedia, ..) it will increase your installation time 5 fold. |
