notice. I simply assumed it wasn't part of kdebase-startkde.

I checked Bugs Forum found nothing directly on this nor any

tho' a couple of people had run into it with Khelpcenter 3.4.1

Once an emerge get into the portage tree, the standard (and rarely, if ever violated) waiting time before they become stable is 30 days. I've installed a few kde-3.5 packages without problem. I have a friend that's been running it since beta 2. Since you seem to be very interested in this package, I encourage you to unmask it by adding '=cat-egory/package-3.5* ~x86' to your /etc/portage/package.keywords for each of the kde-3.5 packages you want to install. With the new style meta ebuilds you can install package by package OR try and do the whole thing by emerging kde-meta. You'll still have to add each package to your /etc/portage/package.keywords.

Correct. Just to be sure, do emerge -up kde first, and if NS (new slot) is before each kde package, you're ready to go.
