We consider a single-pass FEL amplifier, driven by an rf-linac followed by a damping ring for reduced emittance, for use in generating intense coherent light at wavelengths <10 nm. The dependence of the optical gain on electron beam quality, studied with the 3-D FEL simulation code FELEX, is given and related to the expected power of self-amplified spontaneous emission. Design issues for the damping ring to achieve the required electron beam quality are discussed.
