Hi,
is there a way to install the Trinity Desktop Environment without installing nearly all
KDE3 programs such as digikam, ...?
The proposed package kubuntu-desktop-trinity has IMO quite a lot dependencies.
Is there a certain package which only provides the DE? So that Trinity can be started
from kdm or gdm?
Regards,
Stefan

Yes, although no official documentation mentions it (would be great to
have an official "tde-lite" meta)
I run Squeeze but a similar method *should* work for Ubuntu, it uses
apt. No guarantees it will work for you though!
I make a text list of the packages I actually want, e.g tdelist, then:
(apt-get update and install keyring first)
for i in $( cat path/to/tdelist ); do apt-get install $i; done
The list I use is posted at (will expire in 72 hours):
http://paste.debian.net/145337/
You could edit that and use it.
I always do anything like that with X closed.

David

If you install kdebase-trinity it should pull in a minimal amount of deps

I tried to apt-get that today (on a newish Squeeze install with xfce
only) and logged it...
0 upgraded, 48 newly installed, 0 to remove and 63 not
upgraded.
Need to get 69.2 MB of archives.
After this operation, 175 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Recommended packages (I want these) were :
kregexpeditor-trinity pmount kamera-trinity
kdemultimedia-kio-plugins-trinity kdm-trinity libtqt3-integration-trinity
The system is still under 3GB. If xfce were not already installed that
would, however, be a *very* minimal DE.
Thanks for that tip, my custom-package-list is now down from 84 to 58 !
