Hi Users,

My preferred operating system is the KDE Plasma Desktop on Ubuntu 
(minimal) and would like to use the same on GoboLinux.

It is a metapackage that pulls in core modules released with the KDE 
Software Compilation, which include the basic KDE Plasma Desktop, a 
minimal set of applications (web browser, file manager, text editor, 
system settings, etc.), libraries and data.

Package: kde-plasma-desktop
Depends: kde-baseapps kde-runtime kde-workspace plasma-desktop udisks2 
upower
Recommends: kdm xserver-xorg

To install the KDE Plasma Desktop on Ubuntu 14.04:

Downland an image and burn to CD.
(Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" Minimal CD)

Boot CD and select Install.
(just answer each question posed)

Reboot computer and load software.
(sudo apt-get install kde-plasma-desktop)
as Konqueror is unnecessary
(sudo apt-get install dolphin kde-baseapps-bin kdepasswd kfind konsole 
kwrite plasma-widget-folderview kde-runtime kde-workspace plasma-desktop 
udisks upower kdm)

However, only the following GoboLinux recipes referring to the above 
packages were found:
KDE-Runtime
KDE-Workspace
UDisks
UPower
Xorg
Dolphin
Konsole

Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Bye Karl.
