results within a week or so..
2. Nick - on Kinstaller
3. Mark Webb - although I'm not sure about him...

The problem is - even if you cut corners and make static binary of KDE/QT to 
be included on the installer (remember - installer size DOES matter!) - then 
you can quickly passes the size of the original (3MB), which would make the 
installation painful for dial-up users...
