This is just too much manual intervention. It was soo easy with the old install-CD. Why is it not available anymore?
You can install from the KDE 4 Live CD. Probably because they think that most people how high speed unlimited downloads. But for those that don't this is why I am selling the Retail Boxed version as well as promoting the brand on the high street.
The CD format went away quite a while ago. I still have 6 CDs with SuSE Linux 8.2 somewhere, but that might have been the last one.
I know that 9.0 and maybe 9.3 also had CD's (this is where i started) but you can install directory from the live cd.. there is an install option on the 11.3 kde 4 live cd anyway.
The NET-install CD would be a better alternative if you want more custom settings for your system. If you got a lot of systems to install, and you are worried about bandwidth, you can set up your own repository by copying the DVD to an FTP server in your own network and use that one as an installation source. (The installer will prompt you for the repository address if the connection fails, which it will do if your Internet has to go trough a proxy.)
Ugh, this is even more work just to do a simple install.
Like I said the live cd or the net cd allow simple installations
