Hi folks,
Gentoo amd64
Gnome-light 1.24.2
At the beginning I installed Gnome-light for test only. After testing
I'll run;# emerge -C gnome-light && emerge gnome
to install full gnome.
Now I find it a light weight desktop and like it rather than having some
packages installed on the full gnome which I never use. Now I want to
keep gnome-light and add the packages which I need.
Can I run manually;# emerge gedit
# emerge openoffice
# emerge evolution
etc. to install my needed packages?
Which CD/DVD burning packages shall I install on gnome other than K3b,
the front end of cdrecord?
TIA
B.R.

yes, you can install individual packages so long as you have gnome-light too (which provides the core libs for other gnome softwares to run). be sure to use the -pv params first though, to make sure your not going to drag in too many unwanted dependancy files.
gentoo also offer split ebuilds you can use to REALLY cut out the bloat of big softwares. since gnome-light exists i'm pretty sure there's no split ebuilds for gnome, but for a minimalist kde you only need to emerge the kdebase-startkde package. this drags in the core libs and files needed to launch a kde session, together with the startkde command. all other kde packages can then be installed individually. for example, my server only has the following:
athlon1200 server # equery l kde
[ Searching for package 'kde' in all categories among: ]
* installed packages
[I--] [ ] kde-base/kde-env-3-r4 (0)
[I--] [ ] kde-base/kde-i18n-3.5.2-r1 (3.5)
[I--] [ ] kde-base/kdebase-data-3.5.2 (3.5)
[I--] [ ] kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves-3.5.2 (3.5)
[I--] [ ] kde-base/kdebase-pam-6 (0)

[I--] [ ] kde-base/kdeprint-3.5.2 (3.5)
[I--] [ ] kde-base/kdesktop-3.5.2 (3.5)
[I--] [ ] kde-base/kdesu-3.5.0 (3.5)
...needless to say, i'm a HUGE fan of split ebuilds! gentoo is the only distribution at current that allows you to run a true bloat-free kde session, and the performance boost is incredible.
as for cd burning i've never found anything that can compare to k3b. k3b is fast, reliable, and about as intuitive as you can get. as a gnome user though you may want to look into the nautilus-cd-burner package. it adds cd burning functionality to nautilus (the gnome file browser) allowing you to simply drag files to cd, like you would a floppy disk. i've never used this tool myself though so can't comment on it in terms of reliability or feature.

Hi TrickyRic link,
for example, my server only has the following: athlon1200 server # equery l kde

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "openoffice" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:

Then run
# emerge --sync
# emerge openoffice.

What do the numbers refer, such as (0), (3.5) etc.
...its just version info. the 0's mean those packages are version-independant. for example if i updated and kde 4 packages were emerged, other packages such as pam would still function because they are independant of the actual kde version.
Only one package installed.
...gnome-light is a single package. equery looks through your installed package list and outputs those that contain the specified term. since all kde packages are prefixed with "kde", thats all i used in my example. usually to determine which packages you have installed belonging to the same group (such as gnome), you'd parse the group name instead. ie:
equery l gnome-base/
to see the difference, here's an output of kde-base from my server.

...openoffice doesn't compile correctly on amd64 systems, and is thus masked with ~amd64. thankfully gentoo provide a pre-compiled 32bit binary as well, and since amd64 is backward compatible it works a treat.
emerge -pv openoffice-bin

emerge-sync simply syncs your portage tree with public repositories. you should do this every time you intend on updating your system, else portage won't know of any updates, but other than that you don't need to run it for any other use.
