Now that the patch is out,  I am going to be putting NetBSD 1.1pl1 onto
a CD-R drive for some friends.  If there is enough interest I can look into
getting it replicated as well.  What would people want to see on the cd?  Would
it be best to have the sources stored compressed, so more stuff can be put on
or uncompressed so you can study and compile them directly from the cd using
the union file system?
