I know. SUSE is a Gnome/KDE distribution. Making it into a 1CD XFCE
distribution is above and beyond the duty of the SUSE people, so no help
can be expected from their side (unless they do so in their free time, if
they still have any.)
It would also be confusing for people who first try out the 1CD version,
get used to it, buy a boxed set or download a full version and suddenly
get something different.

Yes and that is what the 1-CD page is about or should be re-written to.

Doing that is prety simple. The explanation is just a bit more complicated
then first thought, that is why the page should be re-written. The process
is basicilally as follows
1) makeSUSEdvd -i -s /OWN_CD
2) remove and/or add any files and RPM's you desire
3) edit control.xml
4) make a My.sel file or edit one of the existing *.sel files.
5) create_package_descr
6) cleanup and creation of some gz files for size. Can be scipped, I asume
if there is enough space.
7) make iso and burn
The most difficult step is step 2. Once you know that, adding 3 and 4
should not be too difficult. So what you basically are doing is prepare
everything for create_package_descr.
