I know and that was not the reason for my confusion :) What I understood from Till's first sentence above, is that he would like a dvd that has a bootloader that can use the enclosed cd iso's as an installation source. This then would imply that it only works if the system can actually already boot from the dvd? Therefore it seems to me a bit pointless. This however does not mean that I am opposed to being able to easily create the cd images or even have them on the dvd already. I merely do not see the point of shipping such a dvd as I think he meant.
