I always do a full load when installing Slackware.  This includes KDE,
which I seldom use.  Instead, I use fluxbox.  FB menus are easily
customized tweaking plain text files and many of FBs menu choices
already include existing KDE programs.  Not all.  Newer KDE apps, like
gwenview and okular, must be added.  Trivial, even fer me.  ;)

Still, FB is painfully minimalist and those KDE pains, oh-so-nasty and
newpuke, do not even boot when opening fluxbox.  Have yer cake and eat
it, too!

BTW, my system is 32-bit and I've not fiddled with anything 64-bit.
