I am quite happy with KDE4 - presently using KDE 4.3.5.

Any how...I'm wondering what the best method to remove KDE3.5 safely is:

1) Just leave it and may be it'll just get removed?

2) Found this entry on removing it
http://linuxized.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-unmerge-kde-3-packages-if-their.html

But nothing registers as a 'dup' even though qlist does show a lot of KDE 3.5.10 packages installed. (Yeah, I'd need to modify the line to ensure it doesn't remove KDE 4.3.5).

3) Gentoo KDE4 guide suggests a method, but it seems to be more related to removing KDE entirely...

If you keep your world file (/var/lib/portage/world) tidy, simply deleting all lines with KDE3 packages and running emerge -a --depclean will take care of it.

You *do* keep your world file tidy, don't you? :P



That would be the easiest method. If you use the kde-meta package like I do, just remove the one for KDE 3 and let --depclean do its thing. It should get all of it.

If you want to keep something tho, you need to add it to the world file first and then run --depclean. That way it will keep the program(s) you want and the things they depend on but remove everything else. This will save you from having to reinstall those packages. You may even have to get them from the overlay at that point. So don't uninstall something you want to keep.

If you have the drive space, you can leave it there for a while longer tho. Just keep in mind that there are no security updates or anything like that. If you add the overlay, you will get a few updates at least.
