I don't know if you have all the KDE stuff installed, because that |
16 |
does take ages, and pulls in the whole KDE kitchen sync. When I |
17 |
install kde I emerge kdesktop (or startkde, cant remember now) and let |
18 |
it pull all its dependencies. This normally results in a very cut down |
19 |
kde - no sound mixer, games, kmail, moonphase applets, etc. (a lot |
20 |
less time spent updating) |

Or try WindowMaker, I used to use it and I'm still very fond of it. |
