KDE - install only what I want?
 

I quite like the KDE interface, except for the fact that it installs far too much stuff that I don't need. I only want to install a few items, and I'm running Slackware 10.2, which only seems to have the packages available. For example, I just want to install Kiten from the educational package, not the other 100Mb of stuff since I have limited disk space. Is this possible, short of opening up the package and attempting to pick it out myself (I can foresee some dependency nightmares doing it this way..)

I have actually upgraded to KDE 3.5.1, installed using konstruct, only installing the kdebase and kdewebdev parts, which has so far worked quite nicely.

One more question.. Does anyone know what to do with the konstruct installed KDE since it now resides in my username's home directory..? Is it now safe to move it or what? I'd like to make it the default window manager for all users, but it's working very nicely for me and I don't want to break it.

Thanks

This may or may not lead you in the right direction, but based on my
gentoo experience, if you are compiling the source yourself, you can
add lines in your /etc/make.conf file similar to this:


# --------- DO NOT COMPILE ------------------------
DO_NOT_COMPILE="kppp kget klipper kdeprintfax knewsticker kdat karm kalarm kfax"
#

Just replace these with the programs you don't want.
I've only done this on gentoo, not slack.
Good luck

I just read in the konstruct README:
I think it will be safer to recompile with another prefix instead of moving it elsewhere.

I believe there is such a thing as KDE-Light. I suppose it installs base only and lets user to choose what else to install.
