Piano, piano, please ;) I offered assistance that's all I actually can
guarantee. I'm currently in a job change which means that I've got
plenty of time now but can't see how my situation in April will be.
Anyway, are there any testing guidelines? Rules or anything describing
methods, criteria and similar? I'm not afraid of a time consuming task
as it encourages me in trying to get as much as possible done now.
Is there already someone who will arrange the production of the CD? As
this would be my first "CD of Mass Production" (scnr) there may be some
information I better should be aware of.

OK, just because I'm courious I'll investigate the technical
possibilities regarding a dual-arch booteable CD/DVD. I know, that ppc
and ix86 may use different formats (filesystems, bootsectors? dunno)
since I've got some CD with different content depending on what
machine/OS thei're mounted. I'm still guessing but this would be the way
I'd try to get the different bootloaders to work. I'll keep you informed.
