If you have KDE 3.3.x installed, you can simply <c>emerge kde-meta</c> to
94
install the 3.4.x split ebuilds without disturbing your existing installation.

98
If you have the KDE 3.4.x monolithic ebuilds installed, you must unmerge them
99
before emerging the split ebuilds. However, this process can be done for each
100
monolithic ebuild in turn; you don't have to unmerge all of KDE at once.

104
If you're in doubt, remember there are blocking deps in place between each
105
monolithic ebuild and the split ebuilds derived from it. Portage won't allow an
106
illegal state to be created, so any emerge or unmerge it allows is OK.
