Alternative Desktops on CD/DVD

Postby catowner » Jan 2nd, '13, 10:50

Hello and good morning,

I have installed a copy of Mageia 2 with the K desktop environment. I have no complaints with it. However, when I come to upgrade to version 3 I am thinking of installing it with another desktop such XFCE, LXDE or Razor-QT but looking throught he Downloads pages am unable to find links to other media with these other desktops.

I know I can download and install from Software Management but it would be nice to be able to download a "live CD" with the desktop of choice.

You have alternative desktops on the Free DVD, it has at least E17, LXDE and XFCE and quite some Window Managers, besides KDE and GNOME.
For the live cds, that is merely a problem of missing ressources. Best look at similar requests:

Cauldron is not for the faint of heart!
Caution: Hot, bubbling magic inside. May explode or cook your kittens!
