http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde4-guide.xml This is the most appropriate guide. However, I don't see any problem with just simple universal install:
1) eix kde-meta packages and choose the ones you would like to install and then simply emerge # this would pull all of the kde packages # emerge kde-meta # if you would like just the basic set of packages # emerge kdebase-meta 2) in your /etc/conf.d/xdm change the displaymanager option to simply "kdm" # nano /etc/conf.d/xdm ... DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" ... That'd be it :) 2009/12/28 Andrew Lowe <[email protected]> > Hi all, > I've browsed the forums, documentation etc and can find a lot of > options/opinions but nothing definitive.
