28 That's what I was afraid of, a "list" of one followed by a genuine list. :-(

34 Maybe someone can humor me and not go with the "easiest" route. Let's assume
35 I could live without any Mozilla products or Gimp, and want a system free not
36 just of Gnome but also of GTK. Let's say I'm deaf, and no speakers will ever
37 be attached to the system, which has an onboard sound chip rather than a PCI
38 sound card I could simply remove. What would it take to eliminate this
39 apparent KDE dependence on GTK (and sound support)? How "portable" is a sound
40 event library that makes KDE depend on GTK? For now, I've cut USE down to
41 only "bash-completion ncurses samba slang xattr", but it hasn't helped me to
42 get everything I need to work outside of X. Until I have working NFS and NUM
43 state obeying the BIOS, I have little interest in what's required to make X
44 functional, and no interest in audible notifications.
45
46 BTW, my 3rd kernel did solve my video on ttys problem, and get me access to
47 my EXT2 partition. :-)
