Yes, one, two CDs are the size mark for these spins. Without X we could get
really small with the Server spin, but we'll see where we go.
2) The Desktop Environment catch 22 seems to be continuing: KDE gets
less love since the measurable KDE using community is small, while the
measurable KDE community is small since those who heavily use KDE go
elsewhere to get their KDE fix (Kubuntu, SuSe). And with the recent
bad press, there may be a few who would like another distro to use KDE
on.
So how does 'Fedora KDE' vs 'Fedora Desktop' differ from 'Ubuntu'
vs 'Kubuntu' ? We don't even force a different project name.
Might also mention (for no particular reason) that I actually like
the
fact that the system-config tools are in Gtk and look different from
my desktop (Qt) application

Any insight if these LiveCDs will be an adequate replacement for a Knoppix
CD?
We hope so. We'd like it to be even better than the Ubuntu live CD.
