You probably should to save some space. I doubt that musicians are
interested in all the stuff KDE offers and be eliminating everything
irrelevant applications, , you could in fact shift the focus more to
music. But that's up to you.
I've done a little testing on the ISO size - see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Fedora_jam#Size_reductions_-_some_phi...
Other than Calligra and the games, I don't know what else we could take
out. KDE supplies Konqueror, so in *theory* we could ditch Firefox and
Thunderbird. But I've found a few things that don't work in Konqueror, so
we might get yelled at if we dropped Firefox. I wish we had Chromium; the
web audio stuff is cutting edge.
