This will be a problem, since not a singel 486 has a botable CD.

If you want to copy the LIVE-System to a harddisk, how do you
want to do that?  -  Offering a Rescue/Boot-Floppy?

You are talking about 486 and then OOo 2.0 for Windows on CD...

I have many 486/P1 which CAN NOT read 700 MByte CD's.
Please keep that in mind.

I have the same problem with the PARSIX 0.85 CD which hat
680 MByte and TEAC CD-532(A,E,EK,S)

So HOW do you want to put all on a 650 MByte CD?

This would not work on a 486 and even a P1/266 will kill your last nerv!
