Yeah, Klaus, it's just you ;-)
I showed you my system at Chemnitz with a working KDE and GNOME
environment :-)
The problem however is that both GNOME and KDE need too much space on
one CD. It's better to have a full featured/fully working KDE or GNOME
version on KNOPPIX rather than a stripped down GNOME/KDE environment.
If GNOME gets totally removed from KNOPPIX people might call KNOPPIX KDE
only but I don't think that's a big problem.

We're still looking for a build host as you know :)
Our alpha server isn't the most appropriate system ;-)
By the time when you've totally removed GNOME from KNOPPIX we'll have it
on our GNOPPIX version, so people can choose whether they want to boot
KDE or GNOME. It's sad that there's hardly enough space for both
environments, but we can't do much about it.
Greetings,
Christian
