Don't forget that the writeable media cost more than 30nis, so selling CD's
at this price means investing even MORE money. I suppose ordering CDs from
the state (at $9 each) is going to be much cheaper.

check the possiblities in the near few days.

Repartitioning is yet another obstacle for people who just want to 'try it'.
I guess a CD distribution which can run directly from CD (except for a small
root fs, possibly umsdos) that takes 10mins to get up and running is 
ideal...

I don't remember the GPL by heart, but I suppose it would allow this.
