Fat ISOs have a full live environment. The desktop environment can be started by going into bash, and typing `startx`.
If you want to know what commandlines are used for the ISOs, read path/wdvn-makeall.
**NOTE:** i386 refers to the i686 class of processors, here. That is Pentium Pro and up. **However**, [due to the lack of care from the Rust team](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/82435), and to a lesser extent, [a mistake on LLVM's part](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61347), as well as an overall lack of interest of both parties, you will find some packages, especially graphical ones, not working unless you're using a Pentium M, Pentium 4 or newer processor.
This issue is currently on Debian (and other distros) to fix (although it *really* shouldn't be), [they care about this issue](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=973414). As of Bullseye (Chimaera), it still persists however.

- *ISO support:* live
- *Graphical desktop:* graphical, graphical-xfce4
You may also shrink the image, by putting these components before base:
- *Documentation:* shrink-nodocs
- *All languages but english:* single-language
If you want to use a system with less than 256MB of RAM (minimum 128MB), add legacy after finish. This will make the ISO unbootable on most media but for CD/DVD.
By default, only important packages required for installing the distro are installed, and additional packages related to other things like the GUI are only downloaded, and installed in OOBE (post-installation). This is to reduce the build times of ISOs, reduce squashfs image size, and reduce the RAM overhead of the installation environment, as the file-table of the squashfs is smaller. However, this also makes repeated deployment much slower.
