That would be the easiest method. If you use the kde-meta package like |
| 34 |
I do, just remove the one for KDE 3 and let --depclean do its thing. It |
| 35 |
should get all of it. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
If you want to keep something tho, you need to add it to the world file |
| 38 |
first and then run --depclean. That way it will keep the program(s) you |
| 39 |
want and the things they depend on but remove everything else. This |
| 40 |
will save you from having to reinstall those packages. You may even |
| 41 |
have to get them from the overlay at that point. So don't uninstall |
| 42 |
something you want to keep. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
If you have the drive space, you can leave it there for a while longer |
| 45 |
tho. Just keep in mind that there are no security updates or anything |
| 46 |
like that. If you add the overlay, you will get a few updates at least. |
