I haven't tried dolphin for a long time. But last time it was not localized and seems in an early stage (but functional). What I have read dolphin for KDE4 is developed while developing of dolphin for KDE3 was stopped. But I'm not sure with this. In KDE3 konqueror is the default filemanager and I don't think we should change this for a live cd. > > 4. What about localisation? The kde-i18n-packages are not really > > slim.

I guess doing what GNOME live CD does makes sense. Do you > plan on providing a live DVD too? Localisation could only be included in a live dvd, I think. Otherwise there would not be any other packages than some of the official kde ones (eg no koffice or amarok due to space limitation). The packages of kde-i18n-* and koffice-langpack-* takes about 340 Mb (downloaded rpms). ATM I'm not sure if livecd-creator is able to create a dvd. But having a dvd (at least for localisation) would be great. > > > b) An "advanced" CD uses ~705 MB. > > Accessibility is also important. Do these sizes refer to compressed > ones? This was the size of the iso file created by mkisofs. The "advanced" version I'm playing around with now is about 683MB. I've set up a preliminary wiki page where I have described some configurations: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SebastianVahl/KDELiveCD This version is still splitted into three versions and it was not discussed so far. Just want to have a start for todays KDE-SIG meeting. Then it will be changed. > Rahul Sebastian
