Re: [libreoffice-website] working on a CD distribution disc for LO

I have no issues for you to create a distribution disc for your local 
language based on the NA-DVD.  I used the original themed German 
language DVD as the starting place for the English language North 
American DVD.

You can start with
      http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/index.html
which has the older theme, but it is easier to modify than the newest 
theme that
      http://libreoffice-na.us/English/index.html
is now using.

If you want to have some of the really old version of the files in Zip 
files, you can got to this page and download all the theme files and see 
the folder structure.  This page is for 3.3.1 installs from March 11th.
     http://libreoffice-na.us/dvd-archives/dvd-folder-archives.html

These pages will help you get started, if you do not want to create an 
online version with the CMS server system.  I would recommend to design 
your DVD offline first, then if you want to add an online version for 
your language, then the CMS site might be an option for you.
