Isn't it the case that we're trying to do too many things with one cd? 
It's not only a live cd, but an install cd and a FLOSS-on-windows cd. It 
cannae take much more, captain.

Given that there is the OpenCD already, wouldn't it be better to package 
a decent minimal-ubuntu (or xubuntu) live cd with that, and simply burn 
more / offer it through ship-it? That'll be the WinFoss tool, the Ubuntu 
cd will be the ubuntu cd, no more no less.
