gnome=YUCK, KDE is my friend...

I noticed an awful lot of the packages that were briefly listed as
being installed and or configured by the ubuntu 5.10 installer included
"gnome" in the package name... I'm NOT an expert on dependencies, But as
soon as I can I want to TOTALLY replace gnome with KDE and any gnome
packages that do not provide required dependencies for non-gnome packages
I want off my hard drive. But I don't want to break everything else...

Once I get apt configured, can I safely do something like:
# apt-get install kde gnome-
Which I adapted from an apt how-to which did NOT however say how to
radically replace all of gnome with all of kde????

Can someone suggest a more accurate apt-get command line? to do this?

Thanks in advance.
	Joe
