I tested it now and KDE3.2.2 seemed very nice indeed :)

There was some problems though:
-at boot, F1 does _not_ show any options even though it is supposed to

-during boot, a lot of error messages appear, which do not look nice. Hardware 
was detected correctly exept for my Creative Infra 1800 CD-ROM's infrared 
remote (would require lirc 0.7 to be installed and maybe a special kernel)

-after KDE has loaded, the GPL-license-page has a big picture which is not 
shown. Apparently the entire pics/-directory is missing under cdrom/BFD/.

-konqueror:
* bookmarks could include something else than just Credativs homepage 
(kalyxo's, debian's, knoppix's homepages and a few others would be nice)
* flash does not work. I realize it must be installed from the 
KDE/Credative/-menu (due to license issues), but does a normal user 
understand that? Should we make konqueror give a more informative error 
message?
* streaming real audio/video does not work at all. How about a similar 
installer like the Macromedia Flash has..?

-menu
* openoffice is duplicated in both a menu of its own and in the Office-menu
* editors is also duplicated, its both in a menu of its own and under 
Utilities
* lost & found does not look like a good menu to show to normal users..

-other remarks:
* /etc/apt/sources.list contains by default addresses to local machines. they 
should not be there right..?
* I didn't figure out any way to get root access from KDE. On the other hand, 
when I log out from KDE, I do get a root console but automatic shutdown alá 
knoppix would be much better..
* WHERE IS THE INSTALLER..?

(in the future, a boot option lang=fi would be nice)

Please reply to this message and tell me what of these your going to address 
somehow.. I really hope that you could fix these things, because if this CD 
is flawless we could very well start printing it and give it away to 
windows-refugees. That is one of the goals, right?
