thanks for the replying, i bought koppix on cd for 10.00$ delivered to my door, what im talking about is that there is a lot of people who would love to give linux a try and more importantly give windows the big shove BUT they dont want to pay for something that the might hate and as i said they are not willing to download 700 megabytes on a dial up account, you see light versions of linux every where but they have no gui and therefore are useless to linux newbies.

a minimal livecd with kde whould be at least some 300 meg. And it whouldnt have much software on it, beside kde. Maybe someone made it, or maybe you want to ;-)

Eadz already has made one you can get it here (ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.1/contrib/cdimages/) it is the KnoppixKDE iso it's based on knoppix3.1 so it's kind of old now.

at www.slackware-live.org is you can find a linux-on-cd with a size of only 185.
it has kde / konqueor and so other usefull tools .
it's not based on debian like konppix but slackware is ok, too :o
