Hi.
I don't know if somebody is working on this but I've created a live cd
with KDE for fc6-i386 with the livecd-tools. So far it seems to work
quite fine.
The livecd-files based on the ones from David Zeuthen [1]. I've just
created a config for a kde live spin which requires livecd-base-package.
What I have done:
- created 20-fedora-livecd-kde.conf
- removed most gnome packages and gnome settings
- included kde packages [2] (just to fill the cd)
- not included gdm to start kdm automatically
- inserted "startkde" in /home/fedora/.xsession
- made autologin for user "fedora" work with kdm
- also set user "fedora" as default and recent user (if somebody logs
out of kde)
- replaced redhat-web.desktop and redhat-email.desktop with "konqueror
--profile webbrowsing" and kmail in kicker (firefox and
evolution are not included)
The size of the cd is actually ~570 MB.
The files to create the live cd could be found here:
http://www.deadbabylon.de/fedora/livecd/
Perhaps this could be a start for someone (eg. the KDE-SIG?).

Good work, would you be interested in joining the KDE-SIG to move this
along?
I ask because our current focus is on producing a KDE spin, and for lack
of someone to step up to drive the effort for a kde livecd, the odds of
completing it are less.

I'm a Fedora KDE user, and I'm willing to help out with the Fedora KDE spin if
anything needs to be done. Just let me know.

Thx. I really like to. :)

My problem at the moment is that I am one of the people that could not
boot the f7test1 live cd (no /dev/root) [1]. Also a f7 spin from my
rpms (with up to date rawhide) produces the same error. Because of that
it could be a little bit difficult for me to test the live spins. Only
in vmware I got them working.
But I would see what I can do and added myself to KDE-SIG.

Hello,
Sebastian, file a bug if you haven't yet. It may happens that you are
not the only one.
I'll try to build the live cd from your config file later tonight.
Rex, who will build the official iso for KDE ?

No, I'm not. And the bug is already filed:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=Fedora7LiveCD
Just forgotten to put the link in the first mail (in [1]).
Later this day I will post my experiences to fedora-livecd-ml.
I'll try to build the live cd from your config file later
tonight.
Thx. I've uploaded new rpms which do no include k3b-extras in
20-fedora-livecd-kde.conf (broken in rawhide (at least last night on
my mirror)).

This is just a tracking bug. Putting comments there doesn't help to
solve problems. Filing bugs and make them block the bug, on the other
hand, makes sure that each individual bug can be tracked.

Ok. I`ve found the normal bug and answered there:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227734
When I replied to the tracking bug yesterday this one was not blocking
it. And because there were other answer I replied to it to. Sorry for that.

The things to be done:
1) Review, package KDE components
2) Help on selecting packages, configuration, branding on the KDE spin
and Live CD
3) Documentation
4) Testing
5) Promotion
