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

Well, if you want to use the work I did on the LibreOffice-NA.US site, 
go ahead, but you might want to reference that.  I have the DVDs that I 
distribute based on what is on that my NA-DVD site.  Drew will be making 
an ISO from the CMS site in the near future.

We planed on having an English/French/Spanish language DVD with the HTML 
pages in these three language.  All you had to choose which language 
from the opening browser page.

I use Kompozer Web Page Editor for creation and editing of the HTML 
pages on that site.

As for auto starting, i.e. auto running when you place the disc in the 
computer, Microsoft has disabled that feature.

As for Windows-only vs. Windows/Linux/Mac, I like the choice, but if you 
use Windows-only, then you want to have the Windows only version. 
http://libreoffice-na.us/English-Windows/index.html

I have both version online with 3.3.x and 3.4.x lines of LibreOffice, 
with only the 3.3.x Win/Linux/Mac version having the newest theme style 
that the CMS server version is using.

The difference between the Win-only and the Win/Linux/Mac version is the 
Install page and the extra packages in the extra's page.  All other 
pages are the same.

If you need to have several languages on the DVD, all you need to do 
copy the HTML files into a different folder system and translate the 
wording.  Then update the links to point to the original folders for the 
installs and such.  That is where software like Kompozer work well.

To be honest, the most simple install DVD/CD would be having all the 
files in their folders, and write a text file that tells the person 
where the different installs, documentation, extensions, templates, 
artwork, etc., are located.  Save it as a PDF file [export to PDF] and 
maybe give them a printed copy of it along with the disc.  That is what 
I did, before I got involved with the NA-DVD project.

Now the DVD can be browsed with your default browser [IE or Firefox], of 
browser the DVD with your file-browser [My Computer].  Browsing by using 
Firefox [or IE] gives more information, but is not as quick if you know 
what is on the disc.
