I had 12.04LTS installed when I installed k3b on it. While I was doing 
something else k3b was installed using the Software Installer option and 
it seemed to take only a few minutes to install - hence my response above.

A couple of days ago I installed 13.04 (which wrote the damn bootloader 
into the MBR and it has taken me a couple of days to recover - I hate 
this Ubuntu @#%^&!* !) and now I used 'apt-get install' to install k3b 
and, yes, this installs 117 packages totalling 69.2 MBs. But so what - 
Thunderbird and Firefox take up something like 120+MB each. A drop in 
the ocean when HDD now come in 1TB and up in size.

You want quality, you pay for it. No such thing as a free lunch :-) .
