Removig apps - dependency trouble ?

[salebih]

Hi,

I like minimalist desktop, with only apps that I really need, so naturally after installation of Mageia KDE I wanted to remove 99% of those apps, and I feel like whatever I try to remove it pulls down KDE with it :S

I was wondering is it KDE's problem or Mageias or ?

Is there a way to make "Mageia light" version ?

Actually KDE is shipped with a lot of "KDE applications" (basically all the applications which begin with "k").

You can uninstall applications like Inkscape, Firefox, Lokalize, etc.
Still, some KDE applications can be uninstalled without uninstalling KDE, like the KDE games.

So its KDE's fault.. I am long time Gnome user.. and all this K stuff is iritating, Kthis Kthat.. aah well then I'm going back to gnome -.-

Well, IIRC, in Gnome you have Gthis Gthat too. And quite a bunch of them

No you dont :/

I have used Ubuntu and it doesn't come with ton of preinstalled apps and everything can be removed..
