Unix on CD?

[Root Boy Jim]

   From: Ken Yap <ken at cs.rochester.EDU>

   Hmm. Unix system binaries don't change that often. What if most of
   /bin, /usr, /lib were put on a CD?

   Has this been done already? Or planned? Or too impractical yet/ever?

Or mounted as a read-only file system. As I understand it, SunOS 4.0
will have /usr mounted RO, with symbolic links to writable files.
Berkeley is planning a new file reorganization as well.
