Well, I feel should mention that I've seen the previous version of 
Jon Cargill's BSDisc and I was very impressed.  It actually came 
with 2 CDROM's each packed with various binary/source versions of
NetBSD, FreeBSD, XF86, and tons of binary/source packages for
both NetBSD and FreeBSD.

(I'm not affiliated with BSDisc and I still don't speak for NetBSD)
(is anyone getting tired of my disclaimers?)
