* Is this GDM? Just use KDM with Salixified theme. I have to take a look if I still have one at home. GDM and probably some gnome deps can be removed then.
* Why OpenOffice and not KOffice?
* Why Firefox, Konqueror already is there and one app per task
* Why Pidgin instead of Kopete?
* IMHO Gimp can be removed to save space. Kolourpaint is there for simple tasks.
* Why is Poedit on the iso?
* Why are you using the old wallpaper?
* Is Xscreensaver needed?
* KDE terminal should use the Terminus font
* GTK apps should use a oxygen styled theme (e.g. kde42-oxygen)
* You can use tangoish-kde icon theme for KDE and Tango for gtk to unify the look and feel.
EDIT:
* Greek KDE language files should be removed from iso to save space
Hi thenktor. Thanks for your time checking the cd and your suggestions
* Yes its is gdm. I prefer gdm. b/c all version of salix wil have the same feel. But there is already kdm in the iso with Salix theme. Just remove gdm and login again to X. You will see kdm theme
gdm can be removed.
* OpenOffice is not included in the cd. It is just a link for someone to download it. It is good to exist the link. I think most people use openoffice. But if we as a team decide to have koffice and there is space, then can have koffice as well.
* Firefox is the browser all use. Firefox is faster. I also think people look if firefox is included in a distro cd.
* Again I prefer pidgin, its a matter of taste. Also kopete is in kdenetwork with other apps. This is a bad thing about kde. So menus will full with other apps too. Too many as a look.
How i see it. It does not mean that all apps have to be kde apps. If some gtk apps are better can be used.
* Gimp is professional and standard to all distro's i know.
* I forgot Poedit. I will remove it
* I like the old wallpaper. It is a matter of taste. But can use the new one
* I will remove Xscreensaver
* About KDE terminal and the Terminus font. I will check it.
* I will try to use the icon themes you say.
Greek KDE language files are only 180KB thats why i left them. Other kde lang files are 18MB and more. But to be equal to all langs can be removed.
Finally, salix-kde edition is our salix team cd. I like to here also what akuna and gapan and other members have to say about apps we will have in the cd and what gtk apps can remove without "harm" the cd.
It will be done what we will decide as a team
My personal opinion is to have apps people like and use. Not only kde apps b/c they are kde apps.
Finally i have to say that to produce a Kde installation or livecd, it is different than a gnome (gtk application cd). Kde has different philosophy.
It was easy for me to produce the cd. And took less time than if i have to do it for the first time.
Because, I have spent a lot of time in the past to make slackel since kde-3.5. So i knew how to do it.
Then, when kde4 came up, it was not what i like. So i did not make another slackel kde4 edition.
Then, i found salix
And since kde4.4 is very good now, salix-kde started.
