I am not sure. I made an ISO file but its interest for others is limited as it's really customized to my use and has my contact information. It's also 1.4 GB in size so it's not as easy to distribute. I published all the steps I took to make it so anyone is free to make the same, which I think will fit best everyone's specific needs. > b) The file tree does not contain files for 64 bit Windows.

Under "Research and writing": " I left out RPMs for now but they will be included shortly. " How are such omissions bad ? I provide links to get "other languages and versions" as indicated on the label. I am focusing on my audience, that's all. For my first run I expected no one to be using an RPM system and didn't have time to download the appropriate files. > > d) How are handling the "source code must be available" issue? > > jonathon I haven't had any requests yet. I link to libreoffice.org in many places, and my README includes this mention: All software included on this DVD is licensed under the LGPLv3 free software license. The latest version of these files can be obtained at: http://libreoffice.org/download I suppose I can include a mention about the source code there, thanks for bringing that up.
