What takes time at Fifth Imperium is sorting out all the many titles on those CDs. It takes some research to sort out which books are part of a series, and in which order they should be read. An embarrassment of riches, truly. Baen was generous to offer these, a few years ago. And some of these books are now unavailable (except as used paperbacks). So it's very nice to be able to find them.

For those interested in the Baen Free CDs, here are a couple of additional resources which may help you sort through the contents:

A note as to the Cryoburn CD: In 2010, Baen requested that the sites hosting this CD remove it, at the request of the author who claims she misunderstood the original permission she had given to Baen to freely distribute the included works. As a courtesy to the author, Baen notified the hosting sites and, as a courtesy to Baen, most of those sites complied. However, none were legally required to do so and several have left the CD up on their sites. It is still legally available for download (although Ms. Bujold has requested that you not do so).

For those who want to buy the books, Baen has released most of the Vorkosigan Saga in a series of seven reasonably-priced omnibus editions. The ebook omnibus editions are only available directly from Baen. The paperback editions are also available from Amazon and other sellers.

Didn't she have a hissy fit and DEMAND that you not do so? Accusing all and sundry of being pirates in the process?
