1. Remove unlicensed proprietary software from the CD
2. Make two versions one with mp3 support and the other without.
3. Improve documentation

Hi,
Well,I am an engineering student from India. I am doing a project on
TroubleShooting Linux and made this bootable Cd for me and my friends
whoever need it. I just uploaded it on internet for reviews from my friends
and others.
I really dont aware so much about licensing and distribution. But since I
have been using Linux(fedora) from last 2 years and got little knowledge
about proprietary software (like Fedora doesnt give mp3 support).So whenever
my friends ask why ?I said some license issues.
So,if you can suggest a good solution for it,so please do it.
Should I remove unlicensed proprietary software from the CD? or
Should I delete it from source forge? or
Something else?
Regards,
Devesh.
