I have a quick look at 
Mageia-2-rc-LiveCD-KDE4-Europe1-Americas-x86_64-CD.iso, and I compared 
its content with the DVD x86_64 content.
This liveCD contains some packages that are even not in the DVD iso!!, e.g.
plasma-applet-system-monitor-cpu
plasma-applet-system-monitor-hdd
plasma-applet-system-monitor-hwinfo
plasma-applet-system-monitor-net
plasma-applet-system-monitor-temperature

These plasma-applet packages are only suggested (by kdebase4-workspace), 
but they are never required (and not in rpmsrate-raw).
urpmq --whatrequires plasma-applet-system-monitor-cpu
plasma-applet-system-monitor-cpu


Does the liveCD are built using suggests?

As the DVD isos don't include suggests, it would be consistent to build 
liveCD without using suggests. It is weird to have more stuff on the 
liveCD than on the DVD!!

Luc
