KDE on Windows- Flash Drive

[john smart]

Hi Ralf,

I have a 2gb USB stick, and am thinking of installing KDE on it. It seems feasible that I could install it and boot up into KDE using this stick. However, What files would I need to install to be able to boot into it and run it instead of Windows?
I have a copy of Ubuntu 7.10, which uses the KDE desktop, so I am even considering having Ubuntu on the flash stick and booting into that.
Any help or suggestions on this would be gratefully received.

Cheers

John

a minimal msvc kde installation in the recent packaging 
=kdebase-runtime-4.1.0, kde-l10n-4.1.0-de and it dependencies is about 
200MB of installed size so it needs some  time to download and it install.

For amarok there is already a kind of a single click installer based on 
the end user mode of the current net installer and it would be possible 
to adapt it to install other applications.

The main task for such a goal would be to split the recent packages into 
packages for each application maybe along with splitted language packages.
