livecd-fedora-kde.ks is working but installs too much more packages
than the old config (and also some unwanted, eg. gnome-games). This is
related to livecd-desktop-minimal.ks which includes more groups than
the kde config. If the kde livecd should also use this config some
groups should be removed. The size with livecd-desktop-minimal.ks is
here (i386) 770 megs to 687 megs with the normal config.

And some small note: I've had to run livecd-creator from inside the
config directory so that it could find livecd-desktop-minimal.ks.
