[Marketing] Sugar Boot CDs

[Mike Lee]

I test printed the 2-up label art on an inkjet printer using Avery
8691 2-up CD label sheets. Worked fine. PDFs are attached. These will
definitely need some kind of accompanying one-pager for NECC, which I
will work on. I don't think we need to worry so much about LinuxTag
attendees being stumped by LiveCD vs. Boot Helper CD. I'm happy to
help adjust the art or text to suit other needs as they arise.
