Great work Sascha.

I agree with Robert on most of his stated points.
It would be nice to see some DragonFly specific features on the CD
(although I'm not sure if that will work for all features).  A little
environment where most Unix users feel at home (fluxbox, xfce, firefox,
thunderbird, gvim) should be enough.

Big applications like OO.org, java etc won't work because they are not
available as pkgsrc packages neither is it possible to compile them on
DragonFly.  At least to my knowledge.
