a) I've never used the meta packages, but selected my KDE apps on purpose |
| 27 |
b) it's a lot easier this way to get rid of the KDE 3 stuff, however you |
| 28 |
should get drop of the slot again after depclean has been finished |

I am using long enough Gentoo that I remember very well the times when |
| 33 |
portage destroyed the world file completely. And regenworld put *anything* |
| 34 |
into world at that time. Therefore I know very well, what should be in this |
| 35 |
file and what not. There's no magic. |

ROFL! So, you mean, if users get too smart, Gentoo is no longer their |
| 41 |
distribution? Don't be silly. |
