Gentoo figures out the dependencies so if you try and install KDE and X is not installed it will install X first. Do emerge packagename -p and it will tell you what it will install.

I've been playing around with Gentoo 2005.1  trying to get it
installed using genkernel.  I am a little beyond newbie  with linux
but still in a steep learning curve.   I am at the point in this
installation where I can start installing packages.  The handbook
uses kde as an example.

My question:  Is there an order in which packages need to be
installed.  For example, should x11-xorg be installed before kde?

Thanks,
