I don't really know. Obviously it depends upon the amount of data being
burned. A 100MB cd will burn faster than a 500MB (probably about 5 times
faster :)
I think to burn a RH iso image, we may be looking at a significant amount of
time, possibly too much to actually do it at the show. Though we could do
this ahead of time and make it worth our while. I was going to volunteer my
burner to do this with (the pre-burning) until I realized it's not working :(
Hopefully I'll have this fixed soon.
I don't think a dedicated machine would be a problem. I have a 486 I could
donate to the cause and could pre-load with iso images of whatever we'll need
to burn.

I think that's a great idea!
