Hi, the live DVD image of KDE4.3RC3/OpenSolaris is available at http://www.genunix.org/ [2GB]
In addition to the standard OpenSolaris CD content*, Korona** comes with an almost complete KDE environment - 22 KDE packages plus localization to 57 languages and 38 supporting packages AND Konversation (no Amarok though, the recent versions don't build correctly). The live DVD boots right into a KDE session. There was next to zero testing and some things are known to crash, but overall it's quite stable and there is at least one person already running it as his regular desktop (not me). Bug reports with patches are welcome; without them not so much as we're still concentrating on making some packages buildable. The best places for queries are at http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/category.jspa?categoryID=107 and irc://irc.freenode.org/kde-solaris known issues are listed at http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Solaris/OpenSolaris/Status sources at http://solaris.bionicmutton.org/hg/kde4-specs-42 a simple guide to build the packages on your own is at http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Solaris/OpenSolaris#Effortless_building_of_KDE4.2 have fun hajma P.S.: I'd like to thank to hnhn and ade who did for the project a lot more than I did and also to the guys who ported the earlier KDE4.1 and the supporting packages: steleman, luc^ and many others P.P.S.: a repository with the packages is being worked on P.P.P.S.: packages and iso of final KDE 4.3 will be ready within few days ---------------------------------------------- * I hope it's ok that there's still all the opensolaris branding. I was not able to figure out how to remove it e.g. from the boot splash. ---------------------------------------------- ** Quoting wikipedia: 'A corona is a type of plasma "atmosphere" of the Sun or other celestial body.
