I do not have a CD burner, so I know nothing about such things.

Sounds interesting.  But doesn't that waste 99% of the CDrom?

Thank you.  Perhaps some people would find it useful.  However,
I think most people here are using old hardware and don't have 
CD burners (I could be wrong).

Perhaps.  However, I think most people burning a Linux CDrom
would prefer to fill the CD with a more powerful distribution
(like Knoppix).

Does anybody reading this (who has a CD burner) want to try
this?

I prefer doing these things on the list so other people can
have an input too.
