linux.com — Live CDs do a great job of advertising Linux distributions. In addition to general-purpose live CD distributions, there are lots of task-oriented live CDs. Wouldn't it be great if you could carry multiple live CDs on one DVD disc? Nautopia.net has put up a script that you can use to make a custom DVD to boot multiple live CDs

Not to mention, it's a direct quote from the site...

Brilliant! I got tired of having various live cds that satisfied specific needs, and then attempting to locate them when needed. One DVD...why on earth has this not been done before?Definitely worthy of a digg...or three.

What? No Gentoo? It's only like the third most popular disto out there. It also has a LiveCD system.Although, in reality, it's much easier to customize a Knoppix image to do everything you want. Extract the live Knoppix to a partition. Chroot over to it and begin apt-get[ting] everything you want in a LiveCD. When you are done, mkiso it and burn it. Then you have one DVD to rule them all.There are some fairly involved tutorials covering how to do it.It's a cool hack, but not really useful in the real world.

a DVD burner + blank DVD-R is not that cheap either.anyway why not offer both ? it could prove useful as not all computers have DVD readers

Umm.. Here's a novel idea, how about someone CREATE this DVD and put it out on bittorrent for us to download. I don't have the time or patience to do all this manually. Would be a novel idea to support the Linux All-in-One Live-DVD.. heck call it "The Ultimate Linux Boot CD":)
