[K12OSN] Getting involved with K12 Documentation

[Calvin Park, ADCS]

Thanks for the info. Is there anyway for me to get more involved in the
k12 documentation? Not sure if you all need anymore help. But I'd be
more than willing to help out if you all wanted/needed it. (NOTE:m I
changed the subject since we're no longer talking about CD-ROM's, the
original discussion is included below)

CDroms in the terminals is a fact. Let's use it. And we could even try to autdetect every device whn it's added, then we supermount it. What do you think K12LTSP developers ?
