[gentoo-user] remove all kde and start again ...
I have got myself into a bind with kde 3.5.10 and 3.5.9 - I would like to unmerge all kde and then remerge it as 3.5.10. Currently its taken me ages to unmerge packages as I have emereg world, which its just dawned on me is only printing 3 blocking packages at a time - very slow progress Its just dawned on me that this is kde-meta - is there a way to just remove all kde at once?
