The DVD is upgraded as needed.  Soon it will have a 3.4.5 version.  
Sometimes I find things that need re-working on the DVD, but the last 
thing added was the "kpp" set of English dictionaries/thesaurus [98,000+ 
to 638,000+ spelling words].

If you find any problems with the NA-DVD, let me know and I will fix it.

Each ISO will be dated, will state WLM - Windows/Linux/Mac or Win - 
Windows only, and the LO version.

The DVD is the "property" of the NA-DVD team, but free for anyone to use 
or reproduce.  If you want to sell a printed version of the DVD, make 
sure you use a label that states it is a NA-DVD - like 
http://libreoffice-na.us/label_NADVD.png
I personally just burn/print the DVDs, place them in DVD thin-cases, add 
the case label and inserted sheet[s], etc., then give them away.  I do 
not want to get into the process of having to take orders and ship them 
out.  I cannot in my current HUD-based handicapped housing [plus my 
physical condition does not allow me to take the orders to the shipping 
places on a regular basis].

Please, let me know how well it "sells".

As for merchandising, it is one part of marketing, so this should be OK 
to let people know you are doing it.
