I hope we can migrate things to an official opensuse server at some point.

Look at SUPER KLICK.

Take the current kde 1 CDinstall, install it and start removing things until features break. There are quite a few base rpm's that are required for Networking an other hardware support. Create a base KDE. take rpm -qa and create a My.sel file. 2.) Put klik into it. 3.) master iso and test and fix 4.) Replace some i586 rpm's with i686 rpm's 5.) Integrate PrePr from SUPER Preloading 6.) Any other mods? 7.) master iso and Test and fix 8.)
