Re: Making Free Software Collection CD

The address you (and some others) are looking for is:

http://www.theopencd.org

(You gotta include 'the' at the beginning.)

But as was already suggested, check out GNUWin's list of programs too:

http://gnuwin.epfl.ch/apps/en/index.html

Also, why not just give them Disc 1 of Debian 3.0r1 too? That's 
sufficient for a basic system that'll boot into Gnome/KDE and can 
configure their net connection. From there they are set. You should tell 
them to read the installation directions, especially the bit about 
partitioning, but otherwise, the installer has gotten quite friendly.
