CDServer-HOWTO v1.00 (tarball or zip of DocBook v3.1 and html source) has been released. The HOWTO is what the Open CD Server Project is based on. Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencdserver/ to download.

The first version of the CDServer-HOWTO is now available under the Open CD Server Project Documentation. I'm currently working on the docbook sgml version of the CDServer-HOWTO.

I have high hopes for this project. I'm currently working on a bash script to automate the process of sharing CD's on a network, primarily for Windows clients, and others if the need exists. It will initially use dd, mount (fstab), Samba (smb.conf), and NFS (exports). Should be easily translated to a PHP frontend.
