We probably need to reduce the KDE3 dekstop to accomplish that. On the space issue cthiel is our man going forward. He's travelling and will be back in the office next week and can then tell us what's to be done to get KDE3 in a usable way on the media.
Why not do 2 DVDs? One that is KDE3 centered and one that is KDE4 centered? Give the users the choice at the download time. State what the differences are:
One reason against doing 2 DVDs -- we'd double costs of production for the DVDs we hand out at shows and distribute for free, or we'd be back at square one in terms of deciding "do we do KDE 3 or KDE 4?"
As for the liveCDs, we had a community built version for 11.0. Let's get together and get one together for 11.1 that will either be HOSTED on the opensuse mirrors, or at least LINKED to the download site.
If we have a well-tested KDE3 live CD at the time of release for 11.1, this might be a good way to go. I think that Michael and the KDE team have found a reasonable and healthy compromise for the KDE transition and 11.1. We have a lot of groups to think of here -- the upstream developers who have their project represented in openSUSE, the developers who have to integrate the projects into openSUSE, and the users who have strong feelings one way or the other about which versions of software they're going to be asked to use. It's impossible to perfectly satisfy everyone involved, but I think we've reached a really good solution for 11.1.
