Hmm, but thats derived from the standard desktop install isn't it? Then we will 
have very little room for games.

I'm thinking more along the lines of a very minimal desktop with a stripped 
xfce (for example no filemanager, unless thats very small and doesn't bring in 
to much deps).

I'm also thinking things like: no browser, maybe a text based one which can be 
launched in a terminal from a fake htmlview like command for those apps that 
expect htmlview to be there.

Cool!

Couldn't we use that as a start then, without for example the broswer, mail 
client, office apps, etc.

AFAIK the unique asset of the games dvd is the games list other then that its 
almost an exact copy of the official desktop livecd.
