OK, just to throw in something, here 's what I did when 1.3.2 came out:

 - put 1.3.2 release for alpha, amiga and i386 on a CD
   (just because *I* used these platforms then)
 - include X for these platforms (well, basically part of the release)
 - Add binary packages for these systems
 - The image from www.netbsd.org on the frontside with some brief
   description of what's on this CD (NetBSD + X + pkgs for the archs 
   mentioned above).
 - Documentation was quite just a couple of pointers printed on the
   back of the CD:
    * To install the base system, look into release/<arch>/INSTALL
    * To install X, look into release/<arch>/INSTALL.X11
    * To add binary packags from pkg/<arch>/All, type
      "pkg_add pkg/<arch>/All/foo-x.y.tgz"
    * For more information see http://www.netbsd.org/,
      ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/ or mail majordomo@netbsd.org with "help"
      in body.

The CD was really minimaliastic from both effort to produce and people it
went to (not much more than 5), but it really *was* easy to do. 
And I think something like this *would* actually sell.

Maybe I'll repeat this when 1.4 is out. :-)
