extracted it to the desktop (the feature is built into Jaunty's Nautilus) edited it in quantaplus, rebuilt it with genisofs, then tested it with an XP machine in Virtualbox. Basically no non-free software was involved other than for testing purposes ;) 2009/9/16 Sameer Verma <sverma(a)sfsu.edu>: > On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 9:54 PM, Bruce Kingsbury <zcat(a)wired.net.nz> wrote: >> WLUG dropped Wesnoth and added scorched, lincityng and freeciv which >> makes the CD just about dead-on 700M.

WLUG dropped Wesnoth and added scorched, lincityng and freeciv which makes the CD just about dead-on 700M. I'd love to share but at the speed of my broadband the upload wouldn't be finished until after SFD anyhow. It was pretty easy to shuffle stuff around anyhow, just copy one of the existing html files and edit it for any new programs you add. 2009/9/16 Sameer Verma <sverma(a)sfsu.edu>: > Does anyone have a 700MB ISO of the OpenDisc or has created something > similar?

a couple more of Free Software-related leaflets in Russian

FWIW, I've also translated a GRASS flyer into Russian: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2009-September/052311.html ... and a colleague of mine have prepared a tiny description of the Beamer LaTeX class, too: http://theory.asu.ru/pipermail/softwarefreedomday-2009/2009-September/00001… -- FSF associate member #7257

The selection of the packages is rather arbitrary. It seems that I should've stated my intents behind such a leaflet. The idea is not to supply the reader with a comprehensive set of facts regarding the selected packages, nor it's to supply the reader with bare essentials -- being constrained to a few lines of text, one can't probably do either. The sources of the information regarding each of the packages should be the respective homepages, links to which are given.
