Description Whit Blauvelt 2002-11-07 14:45:43 UTC

You might add that people running only one desktop, whether Gnome and                                                          
KDE, might want to remove the default USE variable for the other from                                                          
/etc/make.conf - e.g. USE="-gnome". Otherwise there are consequences                                                           
like "emerge abiword" wanting to bring in most of Gnome with it on a KDE                                                       
system.                                                                                                                        
 
An obvious thing to the informed, but not to those new to Gentoo who are                                                       
most likely using this Guide, such as yours truly,
