This agenda item may actually be relevant to Release Team!
I have begun my involvement in the 1 to 1 computing initiative.
I have been charged with answering some questions that
I don't know the answer to, but Release Team probably does.
In broad strokes, they're trying to cost out the resources to
burn CD's that would contain a system image and the relevant
applications and configurations to install a Laptop system.
Current costing is for a Linux install CD and a Win2K install CD.
(A single CD to create a Dual Boot image is interesting to the 1 to 1
folks too, but costing out such a beast is not on my required task list.)
I know that the cost is proportional to what exactly is done, and
I'm supposed to propose different levels of what could be done.
My problem is that I'm unclear on exactly what is possible with
a Linux install. So I want to discuss this with the relevant folks
during "Bill time at Release Team this week."

P.S. I'm copying Phil Long on this so he understands more about the
process by which I get this stuff done.
