Hi.
Yo may have noticed that I've chosen 5 basic rounds for the KDE-LiveCD [1]. To the first round (choosing packages) I've only got some few answers. So I think the current cd layout is ok.
The next round should be the testing of the installed packages. Some of them may need some configuration to work from a livecd. Some things I have noticed so far: - knetworkmanager vs. kwifimanger: I don't own a laptop. So I've not noticed that kwifimanager is also started automatically. Splitting of kdenetwork should resolve this point. - the start of kdm is really slow (compared with gdm)
And the current version has also some problems:
- When selinux is enabled the system-config-tools are not working. Booting with enforcing=0 or selinux=0 avoids this. That is a point where I need some help because I have not much experiences with selinux. - minor issue: messagebus complains about an username "gdm"
If someone knows a good hoster I can upload the current version to it. This could make it a little bit easier for some people to just test the cd.
Note to the localized versions: Because I don't get _any_ mail for the needed configurations, this point would left to the local communities completely. This also affects the third point in the test plan (3).

I find, on my laptop anyway, that knetworkmanager works far better overall. But then, it could just be me.

Actually, I noticed this when I switched FC5/6 over to using kdm. Does Fedora have some kind of optimization for gdm?

That is what I've tried to say :) : kwifimanger will be packaged in a subpackage (kdenetwork-extras). If this is done only knetworkmanager (which is supposed to work better) is included in the livecd only.

Ok. This one is fixed with newest selinux-policy.
