in essence, I agree, but as written in my other mail in this thread, I think we should push this all the way, and provide a single self-extracting archive for all three together. I think having to install all three is both the most common use-case, and the one with the greatest potential to scare people away. We'd still provide the current rkward installer as an alternative for people wishing to use a different installation of KDE and/or R (all work for that is already done, anyway). Another alternative is to provide three zip-archives as you suggest, but couple those in a single installer. That would perhaps be most elegant, but it would probably also mean a considerable bit of work. Regards Thomas
