So we should think about it...

On the german CD the yutorun starts an html with informations about the 
different operating systems. Maybe we can use a similar one.

Okay.

No problem. If there is an autorun program or installer we can create a new one.

I would not use Javascript, because IMHO there are many people which 
deactivated javascript in their browser.

Okay. You left them for later use.

Okay, but i think the cliparts are twice on the CD.

The user of the german PrOOo-Box are very interested to use an offline 
installation for the dictionaries. It's not common to have an internet 
connection.

Okay, but i think that's not enough. In different german Templates were some 
errors after the conversion to OOO 2.0.1.

My operation system is Windows XP and Suse 9.3.
The german ISO is creating on the webserver by mkisofs. So there is the 
ISO-Root folder with all needed programms and files. If you ready to create, 
you start an *.sh and this script create the ISO and his md5sum in a specific 
folder.
