That I'm not sure of.  I was just considering the point of saving you 
burning 4 or 5 times as many CDs when you could burn less DVDs and not 
give your burner a heart attack ;)  The ISOs on the DVD would simply be 
ISO files and would need to be copied off by the new owner onto 
individual CDs.

I'm not sure if there is any duplication of filenames across different 
CDs in a distro.  I have a nasty feeling there is.  However if not it 
ought to be possible to drag all the files from all the CDs onto the HD 
and then into the DVD creation in the root folder and then burn the lot.

However if anyone on the list knows how LF got their DVD to boot and 
install Linux from the one disc please feel free to jump in and call me 
a prat :)
