We're just barely starting ourselves, but you've given me some great ideas. We do PC repair and building along side of the web design thing. Mostly an attempt to gather some kind of regular income while waiting on the site jobs. But you don't need to know about that... I would be interested in seeing your documentation, simply to see how it's been done.
I've already created about 4 or 5 CDs of OpenOffice.org, but you've given me good ideas to expand, not only the quality, but also the advantage to going Open Source. I've been trying to work that direction more and more (tired of paying for stuff) myself. We can create the menu and everything ourselves, I'm just curious what we could put in the documentation. :) One thing I noticed about the ISO I downloaded... It didn't have an autorun.inf. I thought about putting one on there, but opted for not at this point. Now I think I'll just do the menu (or big overall install for my OEM systems) and go from there.
