Well, anything's possible if you have the time.
But 3 CDs < 2 GB. You will see _much_ better performance (especially with
multiple users) from a single harddrive.
I can't think of a good reason to use CDs for permanent storage anymore.
Back in the days where 600Megs was a lot, sure, the hottest thing was a
CD tower. But today with 27G disks flying around at the same cost as my
(now fairly old) dual-spin CD drive, it really is cheaper, faster and
easier to just copy the CD contents to the harddrive.
