[Marketing] Sugar Boot CDs

[Mike Lee]

Attached is a JPEG of the layout I have for the Sugar LiveCD and Boot
Helper CD labels on a 2-up Avery template based on Sean's guildelines.
I can't for the life of me find plain-english instructions for a Sugar
LiveCD, and the Sugar Labs site doesn't promote them on the downloads
page. When design and copy is finalized I'll make 2 templates, one for
each type of CD in 2-up.

Mike
