We have thought about that, but we wanted to limit the number of desktop
environments to keep the distribution simple to maintain. As you may have
noticed, we had KDE4 in beta2 and it has been removed from beta3 to keep
things simple. We may offer extra window managers as binary packages on
gobolinux.org once the final ISO is announced.

Hmm. We are simply triggering the grub scripts that were supposed to scan
the whole disk for existing operating systems. I normally test the ISO on
QEMU with no other operating systems installed. I will work a bit on that
to see what can be done.

There is a distribution license that one needs to request from Adobe to
ship the FlashPlayer plugin:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html and
http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/players/flash-player-distribution.html

I do not feel very comfortable with that.

Manager needs some work before it is made compatible with Qt4. Andre Detsch
is aware of the problems and he will be working on it after the release of
015.

Could you detail the operations that you have performed?

This is related to the Qt4 problems that I mentioned above. It will not
work right now.

Oops. Michael, could you please take a look on this problem?

Thank you very much for your feedback, Karl.
