You seek the following URL: <URI:http://open-projects.linuxcare.com/BBC/>.

The ISO is available here: <URI:http://static.linuxcare.com/iso/lnx-gold.iso>

You can have fun hacking the sources from LinuxCare, or you can roll your
own. Freshmeat has an index of mini-distributions of Linux here:
<URI:http://freshmeat.net/appindex/console/mini%20distributions.html>.

There are numerous places to get blank 40-50MB capacity CDR's online. I
picked up ~50 or so at a trade show for not-too-much cash. They cone in
very handy. The product you seek is going under terms similar to "business
card cd".

enjoy,
