Talk:Kde4 minimal

A large number of Gentoo users like minimal installations. I spent several hours over the course of days filtering through all sorts of Google and out dated Gentoo docs just to find out how to do a minimal KDE install. I think outlining the steps people can take to make KDE minimal is worth its own page and saves users valuable time. This can be expanded by discussing USE flags and using Konqueror as a file manager. Having 1 KDE guide trying to cover everything just gets too confusing.
 * To get a minimal KDE session you only need to install, as explained here, but I don't think that warrants a article of its own. You could of course add stuff about setting and such, but still... /Ni1s 16:23, 28 November 2009 (GMT)

This article is aimed at a quick minimal functioning installation and not aimed at a KDE minimal session. Just installing kde-base/kdebase-startkde does not result in a quick minimal functioning session manager, web browser, file manager, email, terminal set up that is easy to maintain under Gentoo. I have used other smaller window managers because I do not like bloat until I realized that it is the way you install KDE. I am looking to gather tips and tricks for making KDE small.
