Definitely no gnome or kde in BL3.

I was planning for BL3 to start in CLI.  Execute startx
to go to the GUI (first time you execute startx runs the
configuration routine).

Yes.

Around 2mb (including all necessary libraries).

Perhaps an email client?  Wordprocessor?  File manager?
I haven't gotten that far.  It will depend on how tight
the space is at that point.

Does anybody actually use those?  They are quite small
so I could easily include them, but are they worth it?
Which of those little X programs do people actually use?
If any of you guys want one of those in in BL3, please
let me know.
