OBI on DVD and more...

[Andre Rodovalho]

I would like to know how can I create a DVD media with OBI and several
Ubuntu flavors or  other distros...

The reason for that is, sometimes it is much easier to get a DVD drive than
fighting to boot USB drives on old hardware... With such media, I could
have about 4 distros, properly I could burn amd64 and i386 versions of
Lubuntu, and have many other options to install

I thought I could use the compressed dd image to get a iso file, and maybe
with on this iso add some tarballs to /tarballs directory. But I never did
something like this on Linux. Maybe there is a easier way to get this done
too...

Another thing, I would like to suggest an change on mkusb script. I
recently had to use on  the partimage linux. There is no "sudo" there, so I
could not properly use this script to make a installation media. Root user
is always available on this distro, and also, there is some distros that
have no sudo binary...

So, to get some more generic script, maybe the right thing to do is to
remove all sudo from code, and run the script as root user. In a debian
like distro "sudo ./mkusb".

I'm hearing you thoughts...
