Dapper 6.06 LTS CD ISO was re-spun as 6.06.2 a couple of months ago.

Actually the opposite is true - there's a tool to help you create your 
own re-spins:

http://uck.sourceforge.net/

There are others too, such as remastersys and reconstructor.

A DVD of Dapper does exist, I know this because it came with "The 
Official Ubuntu Book". Also there's a Hardy DVD:

Dunno about the other versions. It wouldn't be much trouble to download 
UCK, remastersys or reconstructor and try out burning a DVD.
