Club Linux Coffs Harbour

I actually ended up using GRUB2 to take advantage of its 'loopback' command to gain access to the contents of the CD images that are just in ISO files on the DVD.

For example one of the CD images on the DVD was the Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" Desktop i386 Live/Install CD <http://www.ubuntu.com/>. The following is its GRUB2 entry in /boot/grub/grub.cfg on the DVD:

menuentry "Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Desktop i386 Live/Install CD" {
        loopback loop /images/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso
        linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/images/ubuntu-10.04-desktop
-i386.iso noeject noprompt quiet splash
        initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}

Simple enough...

I also put the following on the same DVD:

• Memtest86+ <http://www.memtest.org/>
• Darik's Boot and Nuke <http://www.dban.org/>
• ntpasswd <http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/>

and a couple of other things but the main ones are listed.

Then I filled the rest of the CD with Free Software for MacOSX and Windows

The following is the shell script I wrote to install GRUB2 onto the DVD image:
