+Hi,
+
+No, I don't have any ETA for it (and the 7th of april date seems to come
+out of nowhere), but we are making some progress here. 
+
+Thanks to you dmorgan, libreoffice can now be installed without java,
+and the live CD sizes appear to be fine:
+
+598M mageia-livecd-1-beta1-GNOME-int-cdrom-i586.iso
+615M mageia-livecd-1-beta1-GNOME-int-cdrom-x86_64.iso
+688M mageia-livecd-1-beta1-KDE4-int-cdrom-i586.iso
+704M mageia-livecd-1-beta1-KDE4-int-cdrom-x86_64.iso
+
+Also, the theme should now be ok for GNOME live images.
+
+Though, we still have a few issues remaining:
+
+- KDE: missing draklive-install icon on desktop
+  -> it seems that the code to handle /usr/share/mga/desktop/ in
+     /usr/share/kde4/env/kde4-firstsetup.sh is commented
+  dmorgan, mikala: could you have a look?
+
+- KDE: install error about kdm not found
+- check that draklive-install entries in menu contain our distro name,
+  not the legacy one
