I'm about to start on making a live version of a minimal install of TDE for Cobber (Australasian Debian). I am wondering what are the absolute minimum packages required for a working TDE without applications. The intent behind the minimal install is to allow end users who want to choose the applications in their install to install only what they need and want. I will provide synaptic (or a TDE equivalent) for those who want a gui for package selection but there will be no office suite, games, graphics tools, music or video tools. In other words all I want is the visible desktop, menu etc so that the user can navigate enough to install more applications through their internet connection using either synaptic or a terminal.
Cheers. Michael.

Hi Michael, the absolute minimum for having a working desktop is tdelibs and tdebase. With that you have a basic TDE working desktop.
Cheers Michele
Thanks, I'll have a go at that now.

Where can I get hold of the public key for http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/ main-r14 deps-r14? Preferably in a text file so I can insert it into Live Build's config directory.

Hi Michael As I am a user of PCLinuxOS-KDE-*Minime* ( besides pclos-TDE from Alexandre ) I applaud your efford. If you let me/us know where your beta's are, I will test them and report back to you _if you want it so__._ Good luck I will watch this space Tony
Hi Tony thanks for the offer I really do appreciate any assistance I can get. I will reply here when it is ready with relevant links and will make an announcement on my blog as well.

I have just come across this W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/dists/jessie/main-r1... 404 Not Found Is there a repository with R14 up to date and a public key I can use instead?

Ignore the last post, I had a brain fade and didn't realise until I went back to the repo and noticed I typed it out all wrong.

While your at it how about the minimum requirements to install into "Linux From Scratch", such as the posting of the environment variables, (set), and a current source code for just what your requesting. I've noticed that all TDE wants to be installed into main-stream linux distro's and they are all mostly bloat-ware.

I usually for a minimal TDE use:
aptitude install ksmserver-trinity tdm-trinity
Note: Packages for Jessie are inconsistent on the build-farm (nightly-builds and also my ppa). You can use my alternative preliminary-stable-builds.
Slavek thanks for the advice. Can you post links to the other R14 repositories for me please. I've looked at the nightly builds and everything appears to be version 13 not R14. Also how do I get your public key, or any public key, for R14 so Live Build will actually download the packages.

Slavek's repo is here http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb/dists/
The key as listed by apt-key on my system is one of the following (don't remember which one, I have both installed):
