trying to build bootable OpenBSD on a CD-R

hello all,
I am wanting to build a OpenBSD 2.8(JEEZ do I need alotta patches now, good 
thing the folks at OpenBSD.org have included them all in a tar.gz ) CD that 
my AMD 500mhz 96mb ram with A-Open Video/Sound/Modem, and I want X-windows
 then I could live with having to mount CD after booting from the kernal 
CD(CD1) to gather my ports (precompiled ofcourse, and I wouldnt mind if 
X-windows was on CD2)

perhaps this could be done with a script (ports and X-windows loading)

I have to have it load in memory only so it doesnt touch a hardrive (what 
will I do fora swap, do I need a swap)
to burn the CD images I will have to use windows ME and I dont know how to 
compile images or anything like that (total newbie to *nix&*nux, I hate 
legacy OS's,for the most part)

thankyou
and 1 more thing, anybody who runs a 1gighz or higher AMD Athlon I have a 
question for you- How do you cool yours, my system (on the way, and at 
various stores,I am building it) will most definately use water-cooling (some 
pelts or TECs on special waterblocks and a BlackIce radiator should handel 
the water cooling part), but I need a temporary solution till I can get 
another $300 to build a rock solid water system, I was thinking 2 80 watt 
pelts and a heatsink with a 80mm high flow high pressure fan

tell me what you think a 1.4ghz would need and how many watts a micro ATX 
Chaintech all-in-one board with a 1.4ghz athlon strapped on, you think I 
should install a 300watt supply, will 300watts it cut it, would a 120watt 
micro ATX powersupply be ideal for power for the cooling system?

thanks in advance for anyone that responds even if its critisism 

and where are those e-Glasses that were supposed to be out by now? well I 
think we can count they willbe vaporware for another year or 
so.......rats!!!!!crap!!!!! monkey dung!!!!!!! I wish they had plans for a 
monocular
