i think DSL is great but i was wondering if you could do a version that includes KDE or GNOME or XP-DE desktop ,somewhere ariund 180-200 megabytes, you could call it damn fine linux or damn good linux.

If you want bloat, just use the regualr Knoppix. The main goal of DSL is that t fit on a mini CD.

Icewm would fit your preferences.

However, even though it is small compared to KDE or GNOME it still takes up a lot more disk space than Fluxbox and as far as I can tell there isn't room left for it on the Damn Small CD.

I agree with the last poster. If you want "Windows-Like" feel, you should try a different livecd like Knoppix.

If you want a smaller (8cm vs full size CD) liveCD, try looking into Morphix LightGUI CD. You may even decide that you want to customize it yourself. It's all up to you.
