I usually do not make my discs auto-loading.  I was thinking about 
adding an HTML readme or index file to deal with the different versions 
of the package with some directions for installation and where the 
documentation and add ons are located on the disc.

As I said earlier in this thread, I tend to stuff a DVD full of 
everything you will need for an office suite, plus any other open source 
and free software that can be used by that person.  I include anti-virus 
software, malware cleaners, and a number of other useful packages where 
there is room in my Windows Only DVD.  My CDs are office suite related 
stuff only.

I do remember getting a multi language, multi platform disc that 
autoloaded to my default language and platform from some company [not 
OOo/LO related].  Something like the web site does when you go to the 
download page.  This was nice of that company.  Having a screen, HTML 
for now, telling you which version to install and "helps" you do so 
would be nice as well.  Having a list of the "standard" extensions that 
are useful is nice as well.  I tend to want a selection of extensions to 
be installed "by default" for all my install for friends and family.  
Gives them a more usable system with some of these options added, like 
language tools, pagination tool, etc..  I even give several calendar 
files to help them like I use on my fridge for years.  Then there is 
every downloadable PDF documentation on using OOo/LibreOffice I can find 
on my CD/DVDs.  I tend to do a set of disks and then update the master 
files/folders when I find updates for the 
software/documentation/extensions that are included.  It is a lot of 
work to set up a basic folder and HTML index and keep it up-to-date, so 
I usually just use a "one folder per platform" disc with folders for the 
extension and documents separate from the platforms folders.  It works 
for my handouts, mostly.
