Try GTKtalog (think thats the right spelling ) it's probably the one that Richie has 
seen. You just slap the cd in and let it do its thing. It will look through zips and 
RPMs to get a omplete list of files, so unless you have a long long time to wait dont 
put those distro disks in. I made this mistake ;-| doh! It took about 45 minutes to 
read the disk, but it seemed like a fine effort to reproduce the contents. That was a 
while ago, I assume its got even better since.
