CD-ROM distribution

Numerous organizations distribute various TeX CD-ROM's:

• TUG, UK TUG, and GUTenberg (French-speaking TeX user group) collaborated to produce the TeX Live CD-ROM, based on teTeX, which in turn is based on Web2c; email <tex-live@mail.tug.org> or see `http://www.tug.org/tex-live.htm'.
• NTG (Dutch-speaking TeX user group) produced the 4allTeX CD-ROM; email <ntg@nic.surfnet.nl>, or see `http://ei0.ei.ele.tue.nl/ntg/'. This is a runnable system.
• The Free Software Foundation's Source Code CD-ROM contains the minimal TeX source distribution described in the previous section (i.e., enough to print GNU documentation); email <gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu> or finger <fsf@prep.ai.mit.edu>.
• The Gateway! CD-ROM set contains a runnable NetBSD/Amiga distribution and sources; see `http://www.netbsd.org/Sites/cdroms.htm'.
