User:Cwickert/MultiDesktopDVD HowTo

These are the steps necessary to create a DVD with several spins on it:

Prerequisites

 * Software: coreutils, grub genisoimage (from the Fedora package repositories=
 * ISOs: Images of all spins

Create the directory structure
mkdir multidvd cd multidvd mkdir -p ./{i686,x86_64}/{Live,KDE,LXDE,Xfce} mkdir -p ./i686/boot/grub

Create the boot loader configuration
$EDITOR ./i686/boot/grub/grub.conf

ln -s grub.conf ./i686/boot/grub/menu.lst cp /usr/share/grub/x86_64-redhat/stage2_eltorito ./i686/boot/grub/stage2_eltorito

Mount the ISOs
su -c 'mount -o loop ~/Downloads/torrents/Fedora-14-i686-Live/Fedora-14-i686-Live.iso ./i686/live' ...

Create the DVD ISO
