6 How about:
7
8 cd /var/db/pkg
9 for x in kde-base/*-3.5*; do
10 emerge --unmerge $x
11 done
12
13 That will get the main packages. Then you can do:
14
15 equery belongs `find /usr/kde/3.5 -type f | head -n 1`
16 emerge --unmerge <package name from above command>
17
18 The above will find one non-KDE (by which I mean not part of the KDE
19 3.5 release) and unmerge it. Repeat the above commands until no more
20 files remain in /usr/kde/3.5. You may want to keep a list of these
21 packages to re-merge with kde 3.4.
22
23 For the 3.4.1 KDE, don't worry about it, as the 3.4.3 packages will
24 overwrite them. You cannot have both 3.4.1 and 3.4.3 installed at the
25 same time.
26
27 BTW, why do want to do this? Why not just keep 3.5?
