I think his question is essentially something I'd asked long time ago
- how to create a LiveCD from a pre-installed environment. Sort of
like the FreeSBIE (FreeBSD), Linux, or NetBSD live CDs floating out
there. Basically, you have a running environment with configured
applications such as Firefox
The DragonFly /usr/src/nrelease process can be used to build any
live-cd, it doesn't have to be an install-cd. It's very modular but
you need to play around with it to find the right combination of base
packages to include before you roll in the custom changes that it wouldn't

OK, that answers part of the question - we can create live CDs.
How about the compressed filesystem? Does Dfly have anything similar
to SquashFS (Linux) or cloop2 (FreeBSD/NetBSD) so we can cram a lot of
software in the 700MB ISO limit?
Thanks in advance.

No, we don't have that. This could be a
