[gentoo-user] KDM and portage
Can someone either explain or give me a pointer to an explanation for the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ # emerge --pretend kdm These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Also, WHY do you want to install kdm? It is part of kdebase, so you already have it installed. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

While covienient for time, it sometimes makes it a pain to individually manage packages. My favorored way is emerge -pv kdebase-meta, then individually installing the things in there. kdm is a dependancy of kdesktop, so it should already be on there. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
