Ok, so today I rebuilt (in a hurry) the scripts to create new images,
but there are a couple of problems. One is that the images themselves
are not tested (except to verify that they are recognized by "apt-cdrom
add" on a fc3 test machine, and that I can install a couple of packages
from one of them). That is, I have not made a test install from cdrom
only (nor written the instructions :-). If you still try to use them
BEWARE, the default mount point in apt is /mnt/cdrom which is not going
to be there in fc3, make a link or change the option in apt.conf.
Another potential problem is I did not yet make an image for the updates
from Fedora Core, that may or not be a problem, depending on whether the
updates impact the Planet CCRMA packages... (I suspect not, but I'm not
sure as I have not done a test install from the cdroms only). 

If you are still interested you can find them here:
  http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/iso/3/
(or the similar dir for fc2). 
One is planetccrma-core-*, the other planetccrma-*

Let me know how it goes and sorry for the lack of testing, I hope I'm
not making you download a lot of stuff for nothing...

Another caveat, the planetccrma iso image (it was a test after all - I
was not going to release it) does not include the package signature key
which you will probably need, nor the install isntructions (which are
not complete anyway). Hopefully I did not forget anything crucial.
