You could delete the packages with "emerge depclean", run with -p first. Since kde-meta is not installed, the KDE packages you have will not be dependencies of anything, so depclean will pick them up. However, removing your existing KDE packages is a bad idea, since the merge will have started with the basics, kdelibs, kdebase etc. You will only have to emerge these over again for any KDE emerge. I would install the basics with emerge kdebase-meta, then pick and choose any other packages you want. Run emerge -p deplean at the end to see if there are any leftover packages for your first install. -- Neil Bothwick "Bother" said Rue, for no apparent reason
