Fedora KDE Spin

The KDE SIG prepares live images with the newest available KDE release for every release of Fedora. If you want to use KDE in Fedora this is the proposed way for an installation.

Past Releases

The KDE SIG proudly released KDE live images for the past releases of Fedora 7, 8 and 9. You could download the newest release, Fedora 9, directly from Fedora's download page: http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora The older but still supported Fedora 8 is still available via BitTorrent or a mirror near to you (you'll have to browse to the directory releases/8/Live/):

• The BitTorrent download page
• Mirrorlist for Fedora 8

Upcoming Releases

The next release of Fedora will bring KDE 4.1 to your desktop and is scheduled for October 2008.

Differences to a default installation

This section describes why some packages of the group "KDE (K Desktop Environment)" are not included in the live images. The usual reason for this is the limited space on the images. Please be aware that the excluded packages may change in the development process until Fedora 10 gets released.

package name:	Explanation for the removal
amarok	Duplicate functionality with juk, the default music player.
digikam	Duplicate functionality with gwenview, the default image viewer.
kaffeine	Duplicate funtionality with dragonplayer, the default video application.
kdeedu	not enough space and not so important like other applications
kftpgrabber	konqueror has also the ability to browse ftp shares
ktorrent	kget is also able to do basic torrent downloads
scribus	only needed for specific tasks and not enough space for this
