CSS2: possible. If bender is based on gecko, then it will require a lot, but not a huge amount of hacking to get it fully implemented. Of course, cleaning up the code and killing all of the XUL stuff for Gtk-- and removing any MPL code should be the first priority. 

My idea for the installer is to get a text based version first, using just the standard c++ text mode stuff(cout <<'s and such). Then, start to port the modules to run on ncurses. My grand scheme is to port ncurses itself to run on gtk or svgalib. Easy GUI mode. But, of course, getting the installer just to work should be the first priority. And packaging everything. I'll try to apt-get source kernel-2.4.0test11 on monday, and compile it with everything set up(and of course tar up all of my compilation stuff). I'm still using 2.2.17pre8! It has worked great for me(300K kernel, 500K with modules). 

For the base system, dpkg and apt are musts. As well as w3m(since it is so much better than lynx). SysVinit and init are also needed, as well as some essential libraries. No rpm yet, I'll package it later and we can include it with a later version of the installer. No emacs, but I think including mc and mcedit are feasible. Of course, it needs a kernel, and the fileutils, so, my sketch of a base system would be:

kernel (2.4test11)
shell (bash)
init
fileutils
mc / mcedit
apt(apt-get, cache)
dpkg
glibc(libc6)
libstdc++

any apps I'm forgetting?
