KDE Light

Hi
Has anyone any ideas where I can download a copy of KDE Light as installed in Pocket Linux and mentioned on www.dot.kde.news.

Does anyone know how large it is and whether it is compatible with the full range of KDE apps - dependencies resolved of course.

Any info would be great I have googled but have drawn a blank.

Failing that is there a howto on installing the absolute basics for KDE that I can add to my LFS distro.

Cheers

Sam

If you want compatability for random KDE applications, you'll need at least kdelibs. However it is usually a good idea to also have most of the kdebase module, but this of course depends on your needs, for example you don't need KWin if you use a different window manager, or you don't need Kate if you won't use it.

the easiest way to install a bare minimum kde is IMHO gentoo with the so called 'split-ebuilds' for kde.
you can just specify the basic kde-app(s) you need - portage will then pull _only_ those parts which are really needed, _not_ all of kdelibs/kdebase (which are normally required as a whole).
