Shell scripts that runs rawrite for boot-floppy and floppy duplication.
Unpack "Copyleft" (AKA "KNOPPIX") onto ext2 partition. Would need a well
tested script to sort out the symlinks. Dangerous for window systems in
the hands of the ignorant.
A CD duplication utility could be worked up, but they could use their
windows boxen for this.

All the games we can think of.
Unpack KNOPPIX onto the HDD. apt-get remove .... apt-get install ....
then repack and rename.
Say it quickly, it seems easier that way.
