The following is what Alex sent me after downloading the ISO I created:

Yup :)

I've burned it to a CD-RW to have a look at what you have. Interestingly, 
quite a bit of it is already on the current ISO.

What I'm thinking of doing is to put some of the documentation (in PDF format) 
on the Install CD, as space permits. There will need to be a second CD for 
2.0, since that will be using MSI/RPM and whatever Solaris uses for native 
installers. That means that I won't be able to use Sun's Redundancy 
Eliminator (called "red") to reduce the size of the image. And since the 
Linux package is considerably larger than the old style, as I suspect the 
Solaris and Windows ones will be too, there will be less space available for 
the extras.

So I envisage this:

CD 1 - Installers for all platforms, plus various PDF and/or HTML introductory 
guides (those formats chosen for the benefit of those who might want to read 
some of the guides before they proceed with the actual installation - SXW/ODT 
would be useless then, since they'd have no way of opening them until they 
installed OO.o).

CD 2 - Everything in final form that is available from OOAuthors, OOExtras 
etc. Templates, Clip art, Howtos... They would be divided up a little though. 
All the PDF/HTML stuff would be in first level sub-directories, but the SX* 
and OD* stuff would be in third-level sub-directories under a folder named 
"Sources".

DVD - DVD drives and burners are becoming more common, so a DVD image is also 
an option. I will probably produce one containing everything we have, 
organized in a similar way. Rather than having folders labelled CD1 and CD2 
(as some seem to do), it would be "Installers" and "Extras", with Extras 
having three sub-directories "Documentation", "Artwork" and "Templates".

Anyhow, that's the way I'm thinking, comments always appreciated, and I'll 
probably post the same text to the CD-ROM list in the next day or so, also 
for comment.
