Combine CD images to create a DVD image?

purelithium · 11-24-2005, 10:30 PM

Am I on crack? I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere there was a tool to combine all of the CD images into one DVD image. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I've searched all over, but can't find the info. Maybe I misinterpreted what I read before.

Thanks,

What is the situation? If you're trying to combine something like 4 linux install CDs into one, it probably wouldn't work anyway...

if you explain what you're trying to accomplish it might help us tell you the right solution or help you find the one you're looking for

If you mean installation CD's, they release a DVD ISO as well, so you'd be better of downloading that instead of downloading the 3 or 5 CD's and trying to combine them (if that's even possible).

I know what you're talking about. I played around with the scripts to try and make it work for Slack, but I don't know enough about scripts to make it work... I kept getting various errors during the conversion process. I'd still like to figure it out, just because I like to conquer things like this, but at this point it's just a bit over my head...

Well I downloaded a "special" club release of 2005 LE and It was only available in CDs. I hate having a crapload of CD's around, and prefer DVD's. I thought I had heard of a script that would take a bunch of CD images and combine them into one DVD image to burn onto a disc.

Well I must have misinterpreted what I heard, so I'll just burn the CDs =)

Lol if you're a club member you are able to download the DVD version. You obviously aren't an official club member then.

No I am, I'm a silver member. I have access to the regular 2005 LE DVD version, but I'm talking about a Special Club relase of 2005 LE that DOESN'T have a DVD.

That's weird, I was a club member last year and I was able to download the club 7 cd version on DVD.

Mandriva Linux 2005 Limited Edition i586 Club - Special distro for Club members (April 2005)
