Hello,
Thanks for reporting the issues. I am the Redhat/Fedora packager.
I haven't announced (yet) the availability of the Fedora LiveCD,
precisely because there are broken things that I want to solve.
Also, since Fedora 16 is out, I will delete the Fedora 15 LiveCD which
is now useless.
My answers are below.

* Both CDs cannot launch the live installer from the
desktop. It is therefore
necessary to open a terminal, allow root to use the X-server by xhost + and
start /usr/bin/liveinst manually.
I've already sorted out the problem. It will
be solved in the next F16 ISO.
* The setup cannot be completed, because the default
runlevel is 3. One needs to
log in as root and start init 5 to get to the window manager.
This one is already
solved too .
* TDE does not recognize one's old settings from a
previous installation of
KDE3. I have linked .kde3 to .kde in hy /home and I wonder whee those settings
used to resid, or has TDE wiped my .kde? Not good.
As a personal choice, I have
hardcoded "~/.trinity" as settings
directory for TDE. It is set in /opt/trinity/bin/startkde .
So if you have directories ~/.kde and ~/.kde3, they will stay in place
without being modified.
* The F15 CD cannot even log into the display manager
at all. It is missing a
critical package: for PAM, some gnome package.
* The F15 CD misses the critical step of adding a regular user. I needed to
manually adduser.
Yes, I found these 2 too.
It will work in the next F16 LiveCD.
* I can't get compiz to work at all, no matter
what window decorator I use,
neither gtk nor KDE4 works. I wish you would add the older compiz 8.6 to
trinity, together with kde3-window-decorator.
Some times ago I looked into using
Compiz with TDE, but recent Compiz
packages are missing the "kde3" window decorator, which is obsolete.
I managed to recompile it, but it did not work at all.
I gave up since it was not my priority. (I do not use compiz)
* Laptop management is totally broken. The ACPI-helper
setup uses an
Ubuntu/Debian specific command, which simply doesn't work on any other
distribution. dpkg-stat-override can't possibly work on Fedora. Currently I need
to manually put the machine to sleep. Also, /proc/acpi/sleep is deprecated in
recent kernels. Please find a way to use KLaptop for SuspendToRAM
Nice catch. I
will have a look but I'm not a developer and I have no
idea why it needs to use a Debian command.
* Trinity misses a working NetworkManager applet. I
currently use nm-applet, but
I can't make it reside in my system tray.
I believe this (having a network
manager applet for TDE) was discussed
before on the mailing list, but I do not remember the conclusion.
You can parse the archives to get some answers.
Having said all that, I am really relieved to finally
have an up to date
distribution with my beloved KDE3 and I'd again like to thank you all for the
great work!
Thanks for your reports - they will help making TDE better
