Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right mailinglist for my
questions.  If there's a better list for this, please
let me know (and sorry for the wasted b/w).
(Yes, I did search the list archives, but didn't find
anything.)

As you might know, Lehmanns is selling FreeBSD CD-ROM sets
for the German-speaking market.  Currently (4.4-Release),
the set consists of six CDs, which is the maximum for a standard double
jewel case.  It's just a question of time when we'll exceed this limit.

There are, of course, possibilities to package more than
six CDs (cardboard packs, fleece packs like those from Sun/Solaris
etc.), but all of them have disadvantages, so this is not the way we
want to go -- instead, we would like to make a DVD-ROM.  (Possibly in
combination, i.e. five CD-ROMs with the most important stuff, plus one
DVD-ROM with all of it.)

I assume that the filesystem used on DVD-ROMs is just a
huge ISO9660 file system (please, someone correct me if
I'm wrong).  I can make this with mkisofs, right?
How do I make it bootable -- is the "El Torito" standard supported for
DVD-ROMs as well, so I can just use the -b option of mkisofs?  To sum it
up:  Can I simply pretend that a DVD-ROM is no more than a huge CD-ROM?

Sorry if those questions are stupid, but I'm a newbie in
DVD production.  :-)

Many thanks in advance for any hint and advice!

Regards
   Oliver
