 	Easier said than done.

 	Some of us who run Gnome do use Konqueror and occasional 
other kde apps, and therefore install a lot of it. Using pirut 
under Fedora, I not only check KDE, but go through the options, 
taking a dozen or two.

 	Some here may recall that I took up an interest in 
editors and word processors some months back; so I've been 
wanting to get Kate at least to try along with the others.

 	But I have yet to get it, or to figure out what more to 
install in order to. (Pirut doesn't list it separately.)

 	I do have kdebase-3.5.8-9.fc8; I'm not going to install 
koffice unless there's a way to keep it to a rock bottom -- like 
for instance having only openoffice-writer, and nothing whatever 
else from OO. I have the gleeful luxury of not needing any of the 
rest. Ah, retirement! <grin>

 	So what else do you have to swallow to get Kate? If 
it's part of something like OO was before modularizing, no 
thanks.
