I don't want to start a flame war, but a office program that takes several minutes to boot (actually far longer than the OS itself) is imho totally unacceptable, no matter how good it is. Especially since we are running from CD, OOo is not usable.

Instead, I would remove every application that provides functionality which is also natively provided by KDE 3.2.1, that would include Mozilla (use Konqueror and KMail), xchat and gaim (use Kopete), etc (you get an idea). The KDE apps have made considerable improvements over the past time.

Please keep in mind that the important thing about Knoppix is that you can run many *different* kinds of applications from a live CD, we really do not need redundancy that much (I know, choice is good, but there is the choice to hd-install, klik-install or use knoppix remasters focusing on different aspects).


DVD is not yet a real option because there are way too many PCs without DVD drives (e. g. notebooks).

It's time to debianize Knoppix and have a website where one can select which packages to include in a custom-made ISO...
