Sure, you can specify WITHOUT_GNOME= but if you don't HAVE_GNOME= of a specific port you can't install it. That aside... What is the point of having a variable like this, when you can just install what you want the first time around and let portupgrade upgrade them for you? It just adds needless complexity to the KDE ports. Regards, -- wca
