Package '''tdebase includes a set of libraries, configuration files and applications constituting the bulk of the Trinity Desktop Environment'''. Within tdebase are grouped the base desktop environment daemons and some general purpose applications such as the file manager and the configuration programs. Together with tdelibs, tdebase makes up a minimal desktop environment which the other TDE packages expand adding functionality, graphic effects and themes.

Once the configuration successfully concludes, the script runs the make command then goes on with packaging the software.

A full script can be downloaded from the following [http://www.giustetti.net/resource/slackbuild/tde/35132/tdebase.tar.gz link]. The output package can be installed by mean of command '''installpkg''' as usual in Slackware Linux.

After installing tdebase and the other packages discussed so far '''You'll be able to run the Trinity Desktop Environment and try its base functionalitiy'''. Further papers will delve with additional packages and the extended functionality and productivity enhancements they provide to the base environment.
