In the event you're not explicitly using a desktop or KDE desktop |
| 58 |
profile, can you provide a summary of the changes that should be made |
| 59 |
manually when switching the the kde-plasma/* ebuilds please? I can |
| 60 |
probably handle a display manager change over a network of systems, but |
| 61 |
making a sensible transition to Plasma5 over many systems could be a |
| 62 |
trial if a small step is overlooked.... Thanks! |
