I have added your iso to the download page. In fact, I have
revamped the whole page:
http://geda.seul.org/download.html
I'm still not 100% happy with the end result, but it should be easier
for new users. Comments always welcome.

PS. Stuart you may want to add the following to the README/INSTALL (after
proper editing):
You can mount iso files in Linux without burning them to a real CD.
The loopback driver provides such a mechanism. Example:
mount -o loop filename.iso /mnt
You must have a kernel compiled with the loopback device or have the loopback
device handy as a module and you must do the above mount as root.
