Have you considered simply not installing them at all? If you don't want apache, cups, syslog-ng and bind you don't take any special steps, you simply don't emerge them. Unless of course you do want kde:3.5 (I don't recall if you mentioned that or not). OT: I really like kde:4 myself, but it's such a different product to kde:3.5 that I honestly feel it's official name should have been kde4. If the kde devs had done that, your issue would simply never have happened. This versioning is causing problems for many people, you are not the only one wanting to avoid kde:4 -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
