Sorry, the program I was thinking of is dvdslideshowgui; http://download.videohelp.com/tin2tin/ I'm going to make a serious effort to rebuild kioracd before the end of August, and make it available in enough time to be useful for other SFD groups. My biggest concern is a good disk browser. The 2006 edition was simply done in html and used the default browser in Windows, that's not really a satisfactory way of doing things any more. I'd like to use kiwix but I've been having trouble figuring out how to adapt it. On 3 August 2010 01:35, Manmohan Brahma <manmohan.brahma@gmail.com> wrote:

WLUG was planning to do a similar disk (we distributed 150 copies of "kiaoracd" in 2006) but I may not be able to this year, and if someone else wants to take on the effort I'd be very happy to burn and distribute your disk instead.
Dear Mr. Bruce ,
Thanks a lot Bruce for your interest in the project.
Some suggestions from me; OpenOffice.org has to be on any disk like this IMHO. I would also suggest GIMP, audacity, scribus, inkscape firefox, thunderbird, blender, pencil, handbrake, dvdstyler, qdvdslideshow, stellarium, tuxpaint, battle for wesnoth, yo frankie,
HandBrake , dvdstyler added to Multimedia , stellarium added to Science & Engg, qdvdslideshow i am not getting it over google. battle for wesnoth, yo frankie added in the games. Please do note one thing that if the disc full of and some tools are found which are really important as decided the community then we will go for the removal of the games which occupy quite high. Hope you understand.
There are many other worthy programs which I may think of later.
Take a look through osalt and the opendisc for more things worthy of including.
Don't just include bare programs as opendisc does; put in the popular openoffice plugins alongside openoffice, and the "optional" stamps (they are not really optional) with tuxpaint.
And fill up any left over space with "Open content", the open clipart library, blender tutorial videos, big buck bunny, Sita sings the Blues, US NOW, etc. Target size should be as near to 4.7GB as possible, with perhaps a smaller 'stick' image just under 4GB. It really annoyed me when opendisc went to being a DVD and they were only a little over 700MB! If you're going to make it a DVD, make it worth being a DVD. Put lots on it.
Wish you a happy software freedom day in advance.
Thanks a lot again.
