I mean, are there any Slackware       > applications not shipped with KDE, which are dependent on KDE packages?              Basically, if you look below your XFCE application menu and see any       application with aname which starts with a "k" it will depend upon KDE       libraries. Examples of such applications are:              k3b (for burning CD, DVD or BluRay)       Konsole (yet another terminal)       KMail       Konqueror (web browser and file manager)       Krita       KPatience       KStars       KCachegrind       KCalc              However, there are also applications which does not start with "k" which       depends upon KDE libraries. Exampels:              The hated nepomuk       calligra       Amarok       Granatier              If an application below the "help" menu has a choise "About KDE" it will       for sure depend upon KDE libraries.              However, all the applications above are in the slackware*/kde directory       of the installation media. So yes, you will save a lot of disk space by       not installing them, but you will also miss a lot of applications from       your XFCE menus.              regards Henrik              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
