I agree,  it's not rocket science, but takes quite a bit of time too, 
due to shifting and compressing large amounts of data. Everytime you 
want to test your remaster you have to comress all the data.

I had a thought on the free / non-free thing. The latest versions of 
knoppix have a flash plugin installer. It downloads the flash plugin 
from the internet, and installs it. Could you use something like this to 
install Acrobat? Would that be a good compromise?
