hi,
after playing a lot with desktop environment first I've decided to move
from kde to gnome because kde is too "shine" and eat too much and
contains a lot of feature which I don't really need.. gnome is good but
still too fat.... so finally I've found Xfce which is perfect for my
needs... :)
my question is what is the easiest way to get rid of kde/gnome stuff? is
this enough to change my useflags to -kde and -gnome? Is there any list
what I can safely unmerge in this case?
You change your profile. You can see your current profile with:
eselect profile list
For KDE you would use "default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde" and for
Gnome "default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/gnome".
For anything else, use "default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop". Then do a:
emerge -auDN --with-bdeps=y world
emerge -a --depclean
If KDE/Gnome stuff still remains after that, use:
emerge -pv --depclean <package>
to see what's pulling-in <package>.
