Hi Steve,

Actually, work is under way on a CD image at this very moment - Windows
only, no frills. A few days behind with it, but should be available this
next week. 

The CD will not be an official Apache release, but will contain only
official binaries released by Apache OpenOffice. No strings attached,
other then a standard license.

It will be available as an iso image, so someone would have to download
the image but this will have everything needed then to burn and package
the CD.

Best wishes,
