hello,

i was asking myself if it is possible to emerge only some parts of kde, and not the whole desktop. i don't need the multimedia, admin or toys packages. how can i tell emerge to only emerge the parts of kde i want - or how can i unmerge them now? the same is with mozilla. i only want mozilla and mozilla-mail, but not all that other stuff. is there a way to do that?

tom
