When I did emerge I put:
Emerge Kde
It's downloading a lot of stuff 73 items, what I wanted to know is what am I getting. I want the whole Kde desktop with all he apps, so if thats not it what do I need to do to delete what I just got, and download the Kde desktop with everything in it. Thanx

nope, thats right. The kde ebuild will install the 16 or so kde packages (and the many apps in each package) that the kde devs release.
There's more information about it at this page.

nope, if you emerge kde again, it will start where you ended (at package 68).

Man after 4 days of straight work I've officially installed gentoo with Kde. I can say I'm not a linux noob no more. The error was idk, but all I had to do was insert "opengl" in USE and reemerge a couple of libaries and it worked.

KDE and kde-meta are the same things but difeerent packages
KDE is a bunch of few big packages.
KDE-meta is the bunch of same big packages broken up into individual components.
So as it is broken up into individual packages its easier to update and maintain ad you won't have to compile the parts of the big packages that have not been updated. |
