Dwi'n cytuno.  Ond fel dwedes i o'r blaen, dwi'n meddwl dylai fod
pecynnau mewnosod i Windows arno hefyd - fasai llawer o bobl a+ system
Windows 98 a 2000 eisiau meddalwedd Cymraeg sy'n cydweithio a+'u
rhaglenni Windows.  Ar yr un pryd, dan ni'n gallu marchnata GNU/Linux
i'r rhai sy'n barod i newid.

Dylai hi fod yn bosibl gwneud CD sy'n gweithio fel Knoppix (neu beth
bynnag), ond sy'n edrych fel CD mewnosod Windows os ti'n edrych arno fo
o sessiwn Windows.  Mae Windows yn defnyddio "Joliet" fel cofnod
cyfeiriadur ("directory record"), a mae Linux yn defnyddio "Rock Ridge",
felly mae modd dangos ffeiliau gwahanol i'r ddau system gweithredu.
Dwi'n fodlon i weithio arno os nad ydy neb sy'n gwybod mwy na fi ...

Beth fydd y cost?  Dan ni'n gwybod faint-ish mae copio CDs yn gostio,
ond beth arall sydd eisiau gwneud?

Oes digon o amser i drefnu pethau efo sefydliadau mawr fel 'na?  O'm
profiad o'r Wasanaeth Sifil, mae'n gallu cymryd misoedd i gael ymateb
weithiau!
