Open Source CD

[Carl Parrish]

I'm completely in agreement here. I just created one of these CD's for
an investor then realized that I had to upgrade mozilla. I'm not sure
how much time I could put into this project but am willing if anyone
needs me for anything. Note I think it would be a good idea to keep this
down to one CD and the current CNUwinII is already over 600M. I think
we'd have to pull a few things out (I *love* abiword but do we really
need abiword *and* OpenOffice on the same CD?). Perhaps they should
start having profiles for older boxes (Win3.1, 95 etc) you'd have
abiword and programs that could actually run there. For Faster machines
you'd have OpenOffice. Programmer tools could be pulled out onto a
separate disc etc
