So why do we have KOffice on the DVD? I don't think that KOffice is used by 1/3 of the openSUSE users. I never met people that use KOffice (except maybe here in the SUSE offices), but I met a lot that use TeX. And the fact that TeX Live needs a lot of DVD space is a reason *why* I want to see it included in the DVD that is in the box. It's not a problem to download a package of 10-20 MiB even with a weak internet connection. But it *is* for a package of 500 MiB. Even for DSL 2000 it's a bit annoying. Not a big problem, but annoying.
