For those who want to create their own custom CD, there is now the EDU-Nix 
SlaxCenter, where you can download the modules you would like to include in 
your own personal live cd.  All the necessary modules for Childsplay and 
GCompris are included, along with instructions on customizing the Windows 
Autorun and ISO Linux Boot Splash.  Mix and Match the software that suits 
your organization on your own custom Dual Mode CD.

I will post a lyx and its dependencies article shortly, I recall someone was 
looking for it as well.

Enjoy.
