Hi Nik, Although it isn't exactly the same approach, our LoCo Team has started work on a project to package (and repackage) Ubuntu CDs for distribution to libraries: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OhioTeam/CDdistribution
Our plan was to have a decently completed product before widely announcing it to other LoCo Teams and the whole Ubuntu community. Progress has been a bit slow so far (my fault,) so we'd be thrilled to have some additional input. If anybody on the Artwork Team who knows where we can get hi-res source files for the official Ubuntu 6.06 wallets, please let us know!
