I tested this and noticed this. If KDE is already installed, it only emerges what is in the file. Of course it would emerge everything if it was a new install. This is pretty cool tho. I see a lot of possibilities here. I guess now I'm going to have to learn some of those other commands so that I can get a list of dependencies and such but remove the stuff that portage doesn't want in the file. Dale :-) :-)
