I don't want to install KDE or any desktop comes with Slackware only the necessaryCode:Software Series Series Contents A The base system. Contains enough software to get up and running and have a text editor and basic communication program. AP Various applications that do not require the X Window System. D Program development tools. Compilers, debuggers, interpreters, and man pages are all here. E GNU Emacs. F FAQs, HOWTOs, and other miscellaneous documentation. K The source code for the Linux kernel. KDE The K Desktop Environment. An X environment which shares a lot of look-and-feel features with MacOS and Windows. The Qt library, which KDE requires, is also in this series. KDEI Internationalization packages for the KDE desktop. L Libraries. Dynamically linked libraries required by many other programs. N Networking programs. Daemons, mail programs, telnet, news readers, and so on. T teTeX document formatting system. TCL The Tool Command Language. Tk, TclX, and TkDesk. X The base X Window System. XAP X Applications that are not part of a major desktop environment (for example, Ghostscript and Netscape). Y BSD Console games
packages to install GNOME.

A full install is always recommended when it comes to Slackware, but for your intents and purposes you can leave out /KDE and /KDEI.

Did you want to keep the entire system rather lean, or did you want to keep everything but DEs? There are several different things you may want to look at:
X and XAP will have other window managers and applications
KDE and KDEI have the KDE4 package sets
If you want a list of "required" packages just let me know.
