I installed slackware 9 to give it a try and have really liked it, but since I`m running it on a P-MMX 233 I find that gnome is pretty slow sometimes , so after reading around I`ve decided to give the blackbox window manager a try.
But first I want to completely remove gnome and kde from my system so I wont have any old files lying around.
How would I got about doing this?
Thanks!
On the slackware CD, write down every package in the /gnome and /KDE directory and then remove it in pkgtool. Theres probobly an easier way, but that works for me.
That said, you will probobly want to leave the QT package installed from the /kde dir, and the GTK libraries installed from the /gnome dir, since these are used by MANY programs (especially GTK)
