Thanks for the reply.  I have been reading the forums.  I was in the
middle of a download and when on dial-up, you can't search and download
a package at the same time.  LOL  Anyway, the download finished and I
was looking around the forums.  It wasn't making sense though.  I
thought I was going to have to unmerge *ALL* of KDE 3.4.

That seemed to work great.  o_O  Me like this.  This means I have KDE
3.4 to fall back onto if I have too.  Now I can do a emerge -e world and
get some sleep.  Uh oh, my girlfriend may send me a email.  I have to
stay awake a little longer.  I LUV my Sweety.  :-D  All 100 lbs of her. 
She's tiny.

Is emerge unmerge the exact some thing as emerge -C ???

Thanks
