I've unmerged the previous kde-3.2.3(I mean the pakcages e.g. kdebase
etc.) but still have leftovers in /usr/kde/3.2 - hoqw do I get rid of the
'the proper way'?

First you could try 'emerge depclean' to check out what you might have
missed. Then you need to check if any files in there belong to other
packages. On way is to use qpkg (app-portage/gentoolkit) like this:

qpkg -v -f /usr/kde/3.2/

If it finds something you want to keep, I think it'll be placed the
proper place if you emerge it again. If nothing matches and you haven't
been installing things outside portage, it should be safe to move the
directory somewhere else for the time being. If you notice no ill
effects after a few weeks, it should be safe to delete it permanently.

Microsoft Windows is a very effective file server for a limited range of
files. Virus files, that is ...

rm -rf /usr/kde/3.2

These are files that have been modified by you while you were using
KDE 3.2.

Thanx - that's a really great advice. I've never thought of that :P and
then emerge world to make the system work (e.g. amarok, knights and few
others )

Thank you Before asking for help I tried with qpkg but apparently am
too dumb to understand the man
I tried :
qpkg -fp /usr/kde/3.2/lib/*
qpkg -fp `ls /usr/kde/3.2/lib/*`
qpkg -f `ls /usr/kde/3.2/lib/*
and such and didn't work of course Your did work ) thanks again

I don't what "amarok" or "knights" is and I really doubt that your
"system" needs them to work. Anyway: if they were in KDE 3.2 they
should be in KDE 3.3, too.
