You can also take a look at the full set of possible KDE packages available for download by performing the following incantation:
pacman -Ss KDE | less
as root or using sudo. This produces a large list of KDE packages aside from the core packages you'll get through Xentac's quite proper starting point for your KDE install.

]]>-> Xentac: Wow, check that but!!!
]]>pacman -Sp kde
That should give you a list of all the packages you need. You'll also need the db.tar.gz if you want to use pacman -S to install it.

]]>I'd like to install KDE via CD.
At home I'm on dial-up, so can't do it via ftp. So, I download all packages at job (fast) and burn.
My question is what other packages, apart from obvius KDE ones, do I have to get? Or, what's the best way on getting this info for any other package? Is it all in current/extra.db.tar.gz?
(I did set pacman.conf to do this...)
