Basically replace the *-branding-openSUSE packages you have installed with *-branding-upstream ones. Or install using the KDE Four Live CDs which are contain this packages (http://home.kde.org/~kdelive/)

Thanks, Luiz! I remember that project, I thought it was gone. Is that viable as a working distro now? I remember that it was once mentioned that it is good for testing KDE, but not for using as a regular distro. Or am I confusing it with KDE Nightly? -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com Please CC me if you want to be sure that I read your message.

I've just relaunched it: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/4176 It is the KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop packages on 11.2 with all online updates applied, and all the branding swapped out to upstream defaults. Note that this is only a visual change. The functional patches, such as they are, are still present. PS Who wants to help maintain it now? Most of the time it requires only patience and attention to detail, over programming or packaging skills. I am stronger in the latter categories, as my wife can attest.

Just a few comments for a future release: Hi Markus, thanks for reviewing this!

- virtualbox-ose-kmp-default AFAIK doesn't make sense without VirtualBox installed (the usable stuff for being a VBox client OS is AFAIK in the Xorg package).

Fixed, thanks.

- "kde4-webkitpart" is the old one. It has been renamed to kwebkitpart (that it even made it onto the live CD could be related to bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=578918 )

Fixed - this was just a screwup, the kde4-webkitpart version was explicitly installed.

- A audio CD player (KsCD) really makes no sense on a live CD, because the drive is occupied by the live CD and only very few people have more than one drive.

Consider Live USB. Although CDs are arguably a legacy format, and KsCD's KDE 4 UI was horrible the last time I looked.

- VIM doesn't really make sense to be shipped by default in any distro. Nano is available as fall-back console editor and whoever wants VIM can install it.

- Space freed by leaving VIM out could be used by KDE apps that are currently in Playground or Review (eg. Rekonq or Kahjong)

vim is 2.1 MB installed - almost all KDE games are larger, for example, so I consider dropping vim to be an over-optimisation. I would like to get rekonq on the image, but I'm an bit leery of including KDE:KDE4:Community packages yet as it changes the 'trust' of the image.

Even though I am not a big VIM user, it is a very small, versatile tool and is known to be found on almost every Linux out there by default. I would rather you remove cd, ls, and cat before you remove VIM. I'm not kidding, if I have to text console into the system, I am doing so to edit files, and I can navigate the filesystem from within VIM.
