-DragonFly CDs are 'live', meaning these CDs will boot your system and let you log in as root (no password).  You can use this feature to check for hardware compatibility and play with DragonFly a little before actually installing it on your hard drive.  The CD includes an installer that can be run at the console, or (experimentally) via a web browser. Make sure you read the <a href="http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/blob/HEAD:/nrelease/root/README">README</a> file for more information. To activate the installer, boot the CD and login as 'installer'.

-* Current **RELEASE**: <a href="ftp://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/pub/DragonFly/iso-images/dfly-2.0.1_REL.iso.gz">2.0.1</a>
-* Daily **SNAPSHOT**: <a href="http://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/pub/DragonFly/snapshots/i386/">here</a>
+If you use a GUI DVD, you can login as `root` and start a GUI with *startx*.  Note that there is no GUI release for the current release.  You will need to install Xorg directly.  If you use a USB .img file, it needs to be copied to a USB key directly. Use *dd* on unix-like systems, or [a similar program](http://www.chrysocome.net/dd) on Windows. You could also try [Image Writer for Windows](http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/).

 ## Obtaining source via git
 
-Since DragonFly 2.1 the source repository is maintained with git instead of CVS. See <a href="http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=development&section=ANY">development(7)</a> for instructions how to clone the repository.
+To clone the sources using git:
+
+    # cd /usr
+    # make src-create
+
+This will fetch all sources for you from a fast mirror. If the <i>git-clone</i> command is not available update your Makefile to a recent version. If you do not have git installed, install it from dports (`devel/git`). See [development(7)](http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=development&section=ANY") for further instructions how to work with the repository.
+
+If you wish to check out the source repository manually, you can use
+
+    # git clone git://git.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git dragonfly
+
+All release CDs and images also have pkg installed for immediate download of packaged third-party software.
+
+## Browsing source via web interface
+
+The DragonFly source can be browsed via the [gitweb](http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git) web interface.
 
 ## DragonFly Releases
 
-Releases occur approximately twice a year.  DragonFly release branches <b>only contain bug and security fixes</b> and are designed for people running production systems who don't want any surprises.  Brand-new features often discussed on the mailing lists are typically not in release branches.
