It may be too late now, but in your shoes I'd have started with the default |
| 25 |
profile instead of the desktop; that would have avoided pulling in large |
| 26 |
numbers of packages that you didn't need until you were ready to install a |
| 27 |
desktop. Although I run a KDE desktop on this box I still have the default |
| 28 |
profile from when I rebuilt it last month. |

If I set profile 3 (desktop), then emerge -puDvN world, I get: |
| 31 |
--->8 |
| 32 |
Total: 66 packages (21 new, 1 in new slot, 44 reinstalls) |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Most of those are from the application of a few USE flags, so maybe I can |
| 35 |
now set the desktop profile. |
