I still use Konqueror but I disabled some USE flags early on since I |
| 46 |
didn't want some of the bloat. I think I had to enable some since they |
| 47 |
were no longer a option but sort of forced. Anyway, this is the USE |
| 48 |
flags for mine but since it is a short list, USE flags for other |
| 49 |
packages may affect it more. |

The hard part, getting it to run as root. KDE doesn't like things |
| 55 |
running as root so it took a hammer and some elbow grease. I use it to |
| 56 |
edit config files and it has to run as root to do that. I generally |
| 57 |
have it open only when I am doing a update tho. Obviously, I never do |
| 58 |
internet stuff with it either. < wags finger > |
