  Fedora 8 does '''not''' include the KDE 4 Desktop because the currently available prerelease versions are not ready for daily use. It does include the KDE 4 Development Platform, which can be used to develop, build, and run KDE 4 applications within KDE 3 or any other desktop environment. See the ''Development'' section for more details about what is included.
  
- Since `knetworkmanager` does not work with the version of '''NetworkManager''' available in this release, the KDE Live images use `nm-applet` from `NetworkManager-gnome` as a replacement. The `gnome-keyring-daemon` facility saves passwords for these encryption technologies. The `knetworkmanager` package is not included in the KDE Live images.

The `gnome-keyring-daemon` facility saves passwords for these encryption technologies. The `knetworkmanager` package in this version is a script that calls nm-applet and will be updated to provide a KDE frontend when a compatible version is available.  
  
- Due to the merge of '''compiz''' and '''beryl''', beryl is not available anymore and KDE is also using compiz. For an easy start of compiz a small switcher from kwin to compiz is provided in the menu under '''"Settings/Desktop Effects"'''.
