live images here:) The live images for the KDE spin should be in a
pretty good shape. With the inclusion of KDE 4.0, the package list
had to be reworked. The main problem here was to include the KDE
4.0 desktop and also some packages from KDE 3.5 which aren’t ported

ported it seems like there is not enough space on the live images).
But, if someone is missing an application on the live images: I’m
always open to suggestions.

Rex Dieter: KDE 4.0 still has a lot of rough
