I am curious whether your 'old laptops' also have hard drives, or just 
floppy and CD-ROM drives.

If you know how to make an iso image you could do this yourself and post 
it to share.  Could this sort of CD, like the floppy versions, also be 
installed to hard drive so that changes to phone number, login and 
password, browser config files, etc. could be made permanent?  Then it 
would be a very easy way to install BL3 for people with broadband 
connections.  Steven, who compiled and assembled all the files, has a 
modem connection.

I have used the DamnSmallLinux CD and you have to make these changes every 
time you boot.

You could also try putting together a BL version of something like 
Zipslack - 100MB of files that go onto a zip disk, which can be modified. 
But this is not as portable between computers.
