opendisc instead of osswin for MS-windows

[shirish]

Hi there,
Osswin afaik is a defunct project. If you want to distribute
FOSS in MS-Windows then you should probably take a look at opendisc
http://www.theopendisc.com/ . You can download it, make copies and
distribute them .

If some of the people have little time they can update the Opendisc
wiki as well. http://www.theopendisc.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

This could serve as a nice starting point for your FOSS journey as well.

People who are more curious can also look at the forums as well

(Its a beautiful phpbb3 forum )

I gave it a try and OpenDisc is a good collection indeed. Thanks.
Downloaded both OpenDisc (900MB) and OpenDisc education edition (1.3
GB) as ISO images and opened them using Virtual Clone Drive. (No need
to burn CD/DVDs)
OpenDisc (perhaps the edu. edition) interface is built using Kiwix,
which is a nice program also used to build an offline edition of
Wikipedia.

BTW, on an unrelated note, 'twas nice of Canonical to ship Ubuntu 9.04
at my doorstep. And it got installed on my home PC! Previous attempts
had failed due to a corrupt memory bank - which was detected by
memtest from 'Ultimate Boot CD' which is a minimal linux distro to,
well, boot when the PC refuses to. The new GRUB in Jaunty now comes
with an option to run memtest at boot time, which will come handy on
such occasions.

Best,
Trilok
