can i completely remove of all K software like kmail ,Kcontacts etc or does KDE need these components?

I came from xubuntu which is really lightweight and essentially I am trying to make kde as light as possible…any suggestions would once again be greatly appreciated…Thxs!!!

Yeah you can remove kontact and kmail. Some components for webaccounts however are still needed. If you don’t need that you can remove it together with all the telepathy stuff. Akonadi can be removed aswell I think.

Just a heads up… I removed all of the above and my system would not start after a reboot… The netrunner Logo just kept spinning… I did one by one and what seemed to have caused the boot failure was Akonadi… (Akonadi also removed systemsettings which I noticed)…

Ah ok it is packaged differently then in rolling.
