 <li>
 <p>Make copies for people who need them.</p></li></ol>
 <hr noshade />
 <h1 align="center"><a name="mailinglists"></a>Detailed Instructions.</h1>
 <ul>
 <li>
 <p>Join the
 <a href="mailto:cdrom@distribution.openoffice.org">CD-ROM
 Distributors mailing list</a> so that you will know if we make a
 new 'official' version.</p>
 <p>Simply send a completely empty email to <a
 href="mailto:cdrom-subscribe@distribution.openoffice.org">this subscription address (Click here to
 send it).</a></p></li></ul><p>Every once in awhile we will have a new features or bug fixes ina new release. When fully
 tested it is called a "Stable Release"meaning it is ready for users, as opposed to various test
 releases.</p>
 <p>You will not get much email from this list, just a warning or
 two when a new stable release is expected, and a notice when it is
 available to be picked up so that the old release should not,
 generally, be used any more.</p>
 <ul>
 <li>
 <p>Download the "ISO" image of the CD. <!--Insert mirror selection form here--> (<a class="c1"
 href="#whatis">What is an ISO?)</a></p></li>
 <li><a name="burning"></a>
 <p>Burn the ISO image to a CD.</p>
 <p>As we said, "Almost all CD burning software will let you burn an
 ISO image to a CD." This step should not be a problem.</p>
 <p>Different CD burning software has different commands. Please see
 a local tech person if you have difficulty burning an ISO to a
 CD.</p></li>
 <li><a name="test"></a>
 <p>Install it to test that it worked.</p>
 <p>You should install your newly burned CD to make sure that the CD
 works correctly.</p></li>
 <p>OpenOffice.Org correctly upgrades in place so you do not have to
 be concerned about <i>uninstalling</i> previous releases.</p>
 <li>
 <p>Print copies of the CD labels -- <a href="ooo_cd-labels.zip">This zip file contains some documents
 to make a simple, standard label for the CD and jewel box in
 English.</a></p></li>
 </ul>
 <hr noshade />
 <h3>Some things to remember.</h3>
 <p>If you distribute OpenOffice.org please be sure that people can
 look at the box and know what to do with the CD. You may wish to
 print fuller instructions.</p>
 <p>At the very least:</p>
 <ul>
 <li>
 <p>Identify OpenOffice.org and the stable release number.</p></li>
 <li>
 <p>Tell people to read file README.TXT or
 README.HTML.</p></li></ul>
 <p>We provide a simple, <a href="ooo_cd-labels.zip">sample CD label and jewel box insert.</a></p></li>
 <li>
 <p>Make copies for people who need them.</p></li></ul>
 <p>Your CD burner probably makes CD copies easily. All 'best
 practices' are needed for making a good CD copy among which are
 certainly.</p>
 <ul>
 <li>
 <p>Do not burn at too high a burn rate.</p></li>
 <li>
 <p>Do not do many other things on the computer that is
 burning</p></li>
 <li><i>Verify</i> the burn result if your software allows you
 to.</li></ul>
 <hr noshade />
 <h3><a name="whatis" id="whatis">What is an ISO?</a></h3>
 <p>An 'ISO' image is all the files for a CD in one big file. You
 may think of it as being like a ZIP archive with lots of files in
 one file.</p>
 <p>Almost all CD burning software will let you bur an ISO image to
 a CD. After you do this, all the files and directories are
 available on the CD just as with other means of making a CD.</p>
 <p>Note: we recommend using CD-R media, the ones that cannot he
 re-written to. Not only are these cheaper but also they prevent any
 problems with people changing files later on.</p>
 <p>If you are familiar with <i>signatures</i> there are MD5
 signatures for checking your ISO download, usually in the same
 location as the ISO. We recommend checking the download if you have
 or can get a signature checking program.</p>

 Distribution Project page</a> Please volunteer, if you have chance,
 to help us make the distribution better and easier.</p>
