The response is (as you may guess) a long list.

There are so many auxiliary packages mentioned, that I'm not sure of
all
that I will need. Does anyone have a better suggestion as to how to
go
about this? (I could go to OO.org and d/l and compile this, but I

to also know which packages I'm installing instead of just trusting
what
is installed, if that makes sense)...

Any input is appreciated...

How about using synaptic? That way you can click on the packages you
only want
to install.

Good suggestion. Oddly enough, in synaptic there are a few basic
packages that show as *installed* , but using the CLI with apt-get -s
install, the response says *will install...* and lists the same packages
(not sure why - maybe because of the -s arg), and a lot of additional
packages that I would have thought were installed with the original
installation. Maybe a default kubuntu install doesn't actually install
a complete Oo.
