Or do you want to have a GUI on the live/installation CD?
In any case, I'd also like to have a X environment on the Live CD.  
We're
modernizing the rest of the system; the interface should at least be 
up to
date with, say, 1995.
IMHO, putting a GUI on a live CD will just make it more big and heavy. 
There are many cases when one may need no GUI but need a rather modern 
but good, fast and stable system. For the server machine or for 
hardware diagnostic system any GUI will just be a useless ballast.
I concur with that.  If somebody wants to make a nice install/live CD 
with GUI and whatnot, please go ahead!  But I think this should not be 
the official DragonFly CD.  Our nrelease framework and the installer is 
so flexible, it is very easy to have additional packages and configs 
added for an "advanced GUI CD"
