The copy I have (one of the early versions of 7.04 I think, not the final one) has 536.2mb used up, so there is plenty of room for a little extra information. Users of the OpenCD would, by definition, be Windows users - the programs are designed to run on Windows boxes. So perhaps some sort of document outlining the advantages of giving Linux a try (and of course joining the local Linux Users Group!) may be useful - I am thinking here of something like the leaflets we were discussing the other week on the LUG.
