Projects/KDE on Solaris/OpenSolaris/LiveCDHowTo
Follow this guide to create an OpenSolaris live DVD with KDE desktop. It assumes that you already have the packages in a local repository.
Make sure you have enough space
you'll need at least 12 GB, I add a 16 GB disk to my VirtualBox machine.

Install the distribution constructor
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWdistro-const
Modify the supplied config file
so that the local repo is added and KDE packages are added
