OK fine here it is copied and pasted: To create a DVD with the FEDORA linux inside you only need this script: #/bin/bash # by Chris Kloiber <ckloiber(at)redhat.com> # A quick h(at)ck that will create a bootable DVD iso of a Red Hat Linux # Distribution. Feed it either a directory containing the downloaded # iso files of a distribution, or point it at a directory containing # the "RedHat", "isolinux", and "images" directories. # This version only works with "isolinux" based Red Hat Linux versions. # Lots of disk space required to work, 3X the distribution size at least. # GPL version 2 applies.
