  There were quite a few companies that did that. Not so many now, but
there are still some. Most were/are probably one-man operations. One
bloke shut up shop right after I ordered a disk set from him, because
he broke up with his missus.
  If anyone's interested in buying a set of disks or even a distro repos
on a USB stick, you might try linuxcollections.com. (And no, I don't
work for them. Nor am I being paid for this. It's just the most recent
company I've bought a distro on a stick from.)
