I just talked with ervin and the plan is too use something like supermount for floppies and some clever KDE stuff together with CDDE [0] for CDs. Hotplug will do removable storage.

It's already been done actually by Zack Rusing and Lars Knoll of KDE and Qt fame. It has currently pending checkin to Mozilla CVS. We'll see. > - should be fast.

Yer, a desktop kernel... The problem for me is too find out which patches to use for it. Prelinking is already planned. Initial prelinking will be done in the last phase of d-i or around base-config. :) > - here's the worst point for me at the moment: it should be available > now... or _soon_ not in three or six month Well...

Thanks for your comprehensive vision. :) A kalyxo-settings package shouldn't be too far away. $KDEDIRS makes handling of applications settings *very* nice. */ Christoffer Sawicki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
