*You are right!!* We should rant! And rave! And get *really, really
angry!* Quick! Give me the microphone! So that I can yell the *loud,
funny words!*

No one else has downloaded this and booted this? No one else has
complained? In this much time? Really?

The Live-CD KDE boots with out a login screen of any kind here. None at
all. It boot right to the KDE desktop.

Having a bad day are you?  :-)
