Yes, exactly. I know what CentOS is about (RHEL minus
support), and I 
don't want to use another distribution. I also know that
normally it 
only uses Red Hat packages.

My concern was indeed about the feasibility of an external
repo 
containing a bundle of "KDE light" packages. I
remember (from Slackware) 
that KDE packages can be rebuilt without certain stuff,
using the 
DO_NOT_COMPILE=xxxxx yyyy zzzz variable. In fact, I've done
it before, 
but I don't quite know how to do this the CentOS way, if I
may say so.

Any suggestions?

Now might be a good time to talk to Rex, is he on the list ?
If something is 
possible - I, for one, would really like to see the idea
bounce past him once.
