The SUSE build service is really nice but isn't a size of 667M a little too much for just previewing KDE?

Thanks

    Too much? That's the space needed for all KDE modules, KOffice and Amarok. You can use Kiwi to create a much smaller CD with kdebase only of course. :-)

    If you use the build service and not the CD then simply install as many packages as you want?

I've posted a metalink for the live cd at http://www.metalinker.org/samples.html#kde

I tried it out metalink downloads in the new KGet about a week ago, but it didn't work yet. they contain mirrors & checksums.

Hello,

When I launch this live-CD on my computer, here is the message I get immediately after the linux kernel is loaded :

Loading KIWI CD Boot-system...
Failed to detect CD drive !
rebootException reboot in 60 sec...

I don't understand why it doesn't work, because I have a kubuntu distro installed on this computer, and the hardware is very well recognized.

If someone could give me an advice...

Thanks,

Arnaud741

    Have you verified the MD5SUM before burning?

    You can also test the LiveCD in qemu ('zypper install qemu' first on openSUSE) by running: qemu -cdrom KDE-Four-Live.i686-0.2.iso -boot d -m 256 (or -m 512 if you can give it that much memory).

      Thanks for that. I'd been too lazy to look into running it in a vm - hadn't realised it was that simple.

      Thank you for this suggestion : it works very well in qemu !
      Maybe it doesn't work otherwise because my DVD drive is a S-ATA one ?

    Using a USB CD-ROM drive, I get the same error message.
    (A temporary solution was to use a IDE CD drive, which not everybody has...)

Judging from the file dates, and the dates on this announcement, this is an OLDER CD, not alpha2.

    Judging from the date of the files and the date at which KDE Alpha2 packages were tagged and created (which is the important date unlike the date of the announcement), this definitively likely to be the alpha2 CD.

"KDE-Four-Live.i686-0.2.iso 29-Jun-2007 04:49 667M KDE 4.0 Alpha 2"
is this the official alpha 2? or just after the "alpha 2" tag begun?

The Live-CD is very nice and shows KDE4 progress. Thanks !

I could not get a French keyboard it seems that the xorg keyboard definitions are missing.
