I've removed it from Haikuware. I'd like to perhaps create and maintain a 'hardware test CD' and remove reference to Haiku as outlined in the distro guidelines. Could someone please write a tutorial on how to remove/replace the leaf on the Haiku deskbar, as well as adjust the 'About Haiku' application. After removing and changing these, adding the disclaimers and licenses and removing reference to Haiku, would this be suitable, and would developers be ok with this? Personally, I think people enjoy watching the changes that take place on the 'Superpack' I maintain. I know I like to follow and test the progress of Haiku this way (as well as file bugs). I think people would also enjoy this with a CD, I just want to go about it the correct way.
