Good info. Thanks. |

I was sort of amazed (on the downside) that a couple of packages, like |
| 24 |
kdepim, took a huge amount of time. I *think* I wouldn't have this |
| 25 |
installed so it wouldn't be an issue. I suppose I need to look at all |
| 26 |
the KDE packages to determine what might be a reasonable subset to |
| 27 |
use. Assuming I did equesry correctly I get this right now: |

It seems like at least kdeedu, kdegames, kdepim & kdetoys wouldn't |
| 52 |
leave me missing really obvious stuff, at least from the names. It |
| 53 |
would seem that kdeadmin, kdebase, kdebase-pam, kdelibs, kdemultimedia |
| 54 |
& possibly kdeutils would be keepers. The rest I don't have an |
| 55 |
uneducated opinion on. ;-) |

Thanks for your help! |
