Who cares for the meta packages? They contain not files and can be removed without any problem. OTOH, the KDE-CVS is not what I would call optimal. Important packages like kdepim contain packages that many, many users do not care about: kandy (does mostly not work, this program is mostly a no-op), kmailcvt (only for users that come from other mail readers AND THE DESCRIPTION IS STILL WRONG!), kpilot (only for owners of a personal electronic organizer) I am more unhappy with packages like kdepim-dev: to install a 55KB package, you have to pull >>12MB packages. And those are not libs but real apps. And even worth, program like kpilot MUST be installed to satisfy its dependencies. Why do I HAVE TO install kpilot, I do not use such a device. It is a highly specific program and should thus be treated as such. HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
