Bruno is right, I have to make a vesion of DemoLinux that includes what ever 
software I wish to demonstrate on the same CD. I anticipate that this won't be 
excessively dificult, because that is what DemoLinux was created to do: make 
demo CDs for different apps. (Together with my co-conspirators, I will find out 
how hard shortly.)

The Ofset list will be our principle resource for the education demo CD.
