Acho que podemos tirar algumas idéias para o CD deste feito pela FSF:

http://www.gnu.org/doc/windows.html

  The CD contains a collection of executables and source code for 
popular GNU programs that run on a Microsoft Windows machine. The 
accompanying book contains a detailed installation guide.

This second edition is updated for Windows ME and NT, as well as being 
backwards-compatible for Windows 2000, 98, 95 and 3.X. It can also be 
used on MS-DOS Versions 4 and up.

Programs include: the DOS and Windows versions of our popular GNU C and 
C++ Compiler, DJGPP and Cygwin; a full-sized Emacs, our popular editor; 
the Perl programming language; the multi-lingual GNU Debugger, GDB; GNU 
Make, our popular automated update compiler utility; Gzip, a 
file-compression program; and Bash, a versatile shell.

Other programs included are: GNU Binary utilities including the GNU 
assembler and linker, Bison, cpio, diff, Flex, GNU Awk, Fileutils, 
Findutils, Ghostscript, grep, groff, IDutils, ispell, less, TeX, 
Texinfo, the GNU Text Utilities, RCS, sed, and the GNU Shell Utilities.

The GNU Project has spent the past 15 years developing a Unix-like 
operating system whose name is GNU. Over the years, various GNU programs 
have been ported to MS-DOS and MS-Windows. Now we have published a 
collection of these ports, and some other free software, with convenient 
installation facilities, on a CD-ROM that comes in a book.

The GNU packages on the CD-ROM range from the versatile GNU shell Bash 
to a powerful text editor and programming environment (GNU Emacs 20.5) 
and a widely-used file-compression utility (Gzip 1.2.4a). The second 
edition now includes GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program (as of 
2000-10-07).

For developers, this CD-ROM contains DJGPP, the MS-DOS port of GCC 
2.95.2, which is a C++ and ANSI C compiler with a POSIX-compliant C 
library. In addition, it provides a full programming toolkit, from 
editor to debugger to project maintenance utilities. DJGPP supports a 
flat 32-bit address space with built-in virtual memory and more.

The contents also include the following:

     * autoconf 2.13,
     * automake 1.4,
     * the GNU calculator bc 1.05,
     * the GNU Binutils 2.10 (including the GNU assembler and linker),
     * Bison 1.28 (a parser generator),
     * Calc (the Emacs calculation package),
     * cperf 2.1a,
     * cpio 2.4.2,

     * tar 1.12a,
     * TeX (including LaTex and Texinfo 4.0),
     * the GNU Text Utilities (textutils) 2.0, and

Since the CD is published by the Free Software Foundation, the entire 
contents are free software; the source code is included, and you have 
the right to copy, modify and redistribute all of the software.

The programs on the CD-ROM should run on the following systems: All X86 
systems (Intel 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium Pro, Cyrix 586, 686, Celeron, 
Duron, etc.) running MS-DOS 4.0 and higher, Windows 3.1/3.11, Windows 
95/98/ME/2000 and NT 3/4.

NOTE: Some copies of the CD-ROM as released mid-September 2001 have a 
replication problem that prevents the installation of NTEmacs. The FSF 
would like to apologize to purchasers of that edition, and they can 
receive a full refund on request. A new edition of the CD has now 
(2001-10-23) been replicated, and customers who purchased it directly 
from the FSF will be sent a new CD. If you purchased it through a 
bookstore, you can either return it to the store, or write to the FSF at 
fsforder@gnu.org with your address and the name of the bookstore where 
you purchased it, and we will send you a new CD.

We do not aim to make GNU software run best on MS Windows -- we write it 
for the GNU operating system. GNU software can enhance proprietary 
Microsoft systems in technical respects, but if you want freedom, you 
can't get it with a proprietary Microsoft operating system. To be free, 
you need to replace the proprietary system with a free operating system, 
such as Debian GNU/Linux.
