I can't give you *explicit* directions but maybe I can nudge you in the
correct direction.

I think you're best bet is to create a hybrid Mac/Windows (HFS+/ISO
9660) CD and on the windows side place all of your unix stuff too.
You'll still be able to have the cd autorun in windows if you want and
*nix users can mount a cd and browse to the appropriate directory.

How are you creating the CD that runs on Mac and Windows? What happens
when you stick it in a unix box?
