But what about small bootable CD-ROM images? In this day and age, floppy 
drives are getting rare, especially on laptops. I realize that updating 
the keplerian elements and storing the configuration would not be as 
easy or possible at all when using a CD (maybe a USB flash memory could 
be used?), but at least it would make a nice demo environment. I'm not 
saying that a customized floppy distribution is bad, on the contrary, I 
find it admirable that there are people that have knowledge as well as 
energy to develop these systems. And espcially write the documents (= 
instructions) !
