19 Anyhow I think the minimal and the installer cd are the way to go. Perhaps
20 if you just also release the source files you use to build the iso (I don't
21 know what this would be, perhaps the catalyst file?) then people who
22 desperately want to put together a KDE livecd or something like that could
23 do it themselves.
