You can erase it all with two commands. If you want to keep the software you can continue to run it in a zone, or you can install in the global zone for permanent use."

    To do this in a Real Operating System, you would do:
    # mkdir kde
    # cdebootstrap sarge kde
    # jstar    (vi/emacs for heretics) kde/etc/apt/sources.list
    # chroot kde
    # apt-get update
    # apt-get install <whatever dependencies kde needs>
    #     install the thing itself

    For Gentoo/RedHat/Indy's hat/etc and AFAIK BSDs as well, replace apt with the relevant equivalent.
    It's only Solaris that decided to name good old chroots differently.
