Patterns is what you want I guess: http://mschlander.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/patterns.png
I don't think so. Patterns are used by YaST(2), not rpm/zypper NAICT. The following e.g. bring not found errors: zypper rm kde3-pattern zypper in pattern-kde4 zypper in task-xfce zypper rm gnome-meta zypper in desktop-icewm zypper in kde3-workspace zypper in xfce.ymp zypper in xfce-ymp zypper in ymp-xfce zypper in ymp.xfce
However I wouldn't think it's as easy to remove a complete DE as you'd hope. Mainly cuz some packages are shared by different DEs.
I don't expect perfection in a removal, but this is also about adding. Surely there are names for "patterns" that rpm & zypper can use. For comparison, on a standard Ubuntu install, which is Gnome only, 'sudo apt-get install kde-core' would add everything required to get a working KDE DTE, 'sudo apt-get install kde-desktop' would convert to a complete Kubuntu environment, 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' would convert to a complete Xubuntu environment, and 'sudo apt-get remove gnome-desktop' would uninstall all parts of Gnome not required for various GTK apps left behind to run on other DTEs. -- No Jesus - No peace , Know Jesus - Know Peace Team OS/2 ** Reg.
