Re: [LUG] Burning multiple isos to one disc?

[Kevin Lucas <kevin.lucas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just catching up with Emails and reading Linux Magazine when I saw your
thoughts re Multiple Distro's

The cover DVD for this month is ...............is Best of Small Distros
http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/76/Linux_Magazine_DVD.pdf

 This CD is compressed as a set of SquashFS images. To access its
contents:

  * You may add SquashFS support to your existing system (GoboLinux
kernel has
    this support by default) and then mount the desired image:
    $ mount -o loop -t
squashfs /Mount/CD-ROM/Packages-List-Base.squashfs /Mount/SquashFS

  * Alternatively, you may boot from the CD


For more information about SquashFS, see
    http://squashfs.sf.net


Hope this info helps.
