Use aptitude to install x-window-system-core, kcontrol, and gnome-control-center. This brings in enough of X, KDE, and Gnome to run any app. Then add a few more packages as desired. In particular, konqueror and/or nautlus. Use aptitude and almost all the rest of KDE and/or Gnome will come in sans games and crap. Finally, install kdm or gdm with aptitude and the final bits will come in. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
