which tools would be on the eda cd ??
        - geda and all associated tools

        additional stuff
        - geda pkg manager :-)
        - eagle would be my thingie i'd want

        - pcb tools 
        - schematics tools
        - various simulation tools
        - netlist tools
        - timing tools
        - endless list to fill up a 4GB or 8GB dvd :-)
        - other stuff ?

the packager issue will not be solvable .. everybody has a different distro
        - *.rpm  vs *.deb  vs *.tgz ( my preference )

        a standalone cd would be good .. since it'd usually work
        and it'd use /home/<user-name> for working area on the disk

the problem is some tools expect new libs than what is currently
on the users system
        - overwriting it might cause their other apps to die/segfault

opencores.org had a cd.. but i donno its status
