+This document shows the explicit steps necessary to create a Doyen CD from Red
Hat's Fedora Core 3 distribution. The Doyen CD is a scientific platform which
can be distributed at various science conferences. It enables scientific
software to be distributed as literate programs. The Doyen CD has a local wiki
and a set of scientific packages which can be scripted from the wiki pages. The
scientific packages can be tailor to the specific conference.
