 Posted: Sat Aug 21, 2004 10:38 am Post subject: minimalistic kde and gnome |
 |
|
| Most of the time I am using as desktop manager ratpoison and sometimes IceWM. However, I still need some applications from kde and gnome. If I emerge only these applications I have problems adjusting the fonts. That's why I emerged all kde and gnome. Apart from some specific applications, what I need from kde is only kdm for graphical login and "KDE Control Center" for adjusting the fonts. For gnome, I only need gnome-font-properties for adjusting the fonts. For gnome fonts I also use the file .gtkrc-2.0 which contains the line gtk-font-name="Sans 15". My question is: what are the packages which I should emerge in order to keep the number of installed packages as minimal as possible? |

kdebase contains kdm and kcontrol, so the only KDE things youll need to emerge are kdelibs and kdebase (possibly arts too...)

| Thank you very much for your answer. I would be very grateful if somebody could give me a similar answer for gnome. |

You could give gnome-light a shot...
This might be what you are looking for (taken from the ebuild):
| Quote: | # This is a wrapper for the 'light' Gnome2 desktop,
# This should only consist of the bare minimum of libs/apps needed
# It is basicly the gnome-base/gnome without all extra apps |
Watch this comment, too:

hth,
