Forgive my own ignorance, but what is the advantage to doing this over
kdebase, kdeutils, kdeadmin, etc?
I've got plenty of disk space, so I never bothered moving away from the
monolithic builds. emerge kde worked better for me than emerge kde-meta,
which brought in all the same binaries. I know it's much faster to update a
particular package as opposed to kdepim (or kdenetwork, or kdemultimedia),
but that's not really an issue for me.
I really don't want to start a war, but I don't understand why the OP didn't
just
# emerge -C kdetoys kdegames kdeedu
(with any required version numbers) and be done with it. Not having removed
kde packages, I'm not sure that would work. But something along those lines
should have solved his problem.
