Linux Distro on DVD


Recommended Posts

Is it possible to drop an install of, say Slackware, onto a DVD? I'm getting rather fed up with having to have 2 or more CDs for a distro and having to do disc swapping. I have a DVD-RW drive and I'm looking to condense things more so than I already have with other applications and such.

Is it possible to extract a few CD .isos and recreate them into a single DVD-sized .iso without breaking the installers? I'm not familiar with how installers work for figuring out what packages they have, and I would think this would work, but has anyone tried doing so?

Asking, since I only have DVD-Rs (RWs seem to be impossible to find in Hungary :rollseyes: ) and would rather not send a disc to coasterville.

The distros I'm looking at condensing are Slackware 9.1 and Fedora Core 1. Thankfully SuSE does this for you ;)

It should be possible, and has problably already been done before.

I don't have a DVD-ROM, so I never looked into it. :(

Tell you what, buy me a DVD writer, and I will burn all the images you want! :laugh:
