ok, sbotools is a port-like system that lets you install stuff from SBo, resolving dependencies.

sbopkg achieves the same, but in a different way. Here, you first generate the so called build queues for e.g. qemu. Are you using 14.2 or -current?

I have both x64_14.2 and -current VMs. Both full install, both have XFCE as default DEs.

It's up to you. For years, I did a minimal install of Slackware, but lately I've become lazy and install Full.

In the old daze, drive space was somewhat limited; nowadays, no problems like that.

Also, there are some KDE apps that I use regularly (K3b, etc.), so having the KDE apps all there is handy for me.

You start from full install and work your way down to what you really need in about few fresh installs or so.

Omitting KDE might break KDE dependent slackbuilds

It will save you quite some time to install everything first year and start experimenting only after you have a solid baseline of full stable release of Slackware.

Only then opt for -current or customized full release.

Just my 2c, YMMV
