Will using only dolphin be too much overhead?

[Christopher Jones]

Hi,

There is no port called ‘kdebase4’. If you want Dolphin the minimum you need to install is

> sudo port install kde4-baseapps

Thats the minimum proving the core KD4 libraries plus a few basic applications, that includes Dolphin.
