I know. But the fact remains that it took a whole week before someone even replied to the fact that the live cds are broken. They are just very fragile
I use the KDE Live CD from Factory, and I missed the new versions. While unable to get new ones, I used Build 0186 to install, set Factory as the repos, and did a 'zypper dup'. I also described this process on the beta forum. A number of people there used this workaround.
It was not that I don't care. I just did not want to make any more noise. As long as I could get to the end point, that was fine.
BTW, a Live DVD might be desirable, but it would not replace the Live CD. Why should I download 4 GB to create a minimal system for testing that will be dup'ed every day anyway. The 700 MB of a Live CD is just right and it installs quickly. If Live CDs are not available, then I will use NET install CDs. That usually entails a 2+ GB download.

why does the DVD have to contain 4GB of data? Why not a live media that is 1.2GB in size or .975GB or 1.4GB?
Because that´s the de facto standard. And why should place be wasted if you burn it to a 4GB DVD?
thanks,
Well, standards change over time. And making the live version larger then what a CD holds eliminates package contraints.
