Re: should we ship iceweasel (firefox) on the first cd?
Dear List,
in most cases, Konqueror works fine. Iceweasle however, is not supported
by every web page (its browser tag that is).
Is Opera meant to be on the CD as well? As for browsers, we need
something like Mozilla composer/NVU anyway, so we could think about
trading Iceweasle for Mozilla suite.

Didn't have any problems with this, so far (Java is worse). I love
Digikam, but it doesn't compare to GIMP. Here, krita (once it runs more
stable) from KDE Office is a more realistic alternative.

P.S: Ooo and Gcompris are most space consuming. My idea was always, to
offer one CD for primary schools (no OOo), and one for secondary level
(Ooo, but no Gcompris).
