Be nice to have our NA Community DVD go to the events/expos soon.

If Drew could give us a link in his "portal" site for the ISO file, it 
would be great.
We have the DVD case cover and the DVD label files on our 
LibreOffice-NA.US site
and will soon have the DVD insert paperwork, but the people who go to 
the expos
should not need the instruction on how to use the DVD, should they?  So 
with the
ISO link, anyone who will be going to the expos could download the ISO 
file, burn
some DVD, place the labels on it and use the cover if they use the DVD 
style cases
instead of the CD jewel cases.  Tigerdirect.com has 100-pack DVD cases 
for under $20
and they even have DVD cases that hold 4 discs in 10-packs.  That is 
where I get mine.

The Windows-only DVD just needs a re-work of the install page, since it 
look a little
empty with the Linux and Mac installs gone.  Also, I want to get rid of 
the BrOffice
installs that I have on it, since there is no longer a BrOffice 
"company".  But it is all
there 1.6 GB of an ISO vs. 3.3 GB for the Win/Linux/Mac version.
