can I download some extentions and burn them on a separate cd so users can download what they want when there is no high speed connection ( this is for my DSL in El Salvador proyect)
I'll apprciate any sugestions if there is an alternative to internet downloading

You most certainly can! But you will have to burn them to the dsl CD or to the dsl install in a writable medium like a hdd/usb/flash card/.....tp  actually use them. You cannot run them from the second CD you burn them to.

That was my idea. put the extentions on a cd and then let the students choose what they want to have on their computers by copying them to their hard drives . on another note what tipe of extentions are the least memory and resource hungry most of the  clients will only have 32 meg mem + 128 swap????

uci is the most efficient, then .tar.gz and worst are dsls.
It is also best not to put many in the / partition as they will all start at bootup. If you install into the /optional directory, once dsl boots you can startup what you want. This is moore efficient and will use the swap partionn of the hdd when RAm is all gobbled up.
