Why not put KDE4 on a separate CD as an *addition* to the DVD? The 11.1
installation process could be modified to check to see which Desktop
system a user wants installed and if KDE4 is selected then KDE4 files
will be installed after the rest of the main system is installed.

Alternatively, since very few people use Gnome, put Gnome on the CD and
have the *full* KDE3 with (crippled) KDE4 on the DVD.

KDE4 is at the centre of this whole debate so *it* should be *"reduced"*
and *NOT* KDE3 which is fully functional and stable.

Ciao.
