Boot discs and such.

[aimeeandbeatles]

I have a bunch of DVD-Rs, and I'd like to burn off a bunch of boot discs or Linux distros and "open-source discs" or stuff like that. Does anybody here have a list of them that'll fit onto DVD-Rs?

Thanks

Considering that they generally come on 1 or 2 CDs, all of them can fit on a DVD. The DVD format holds a lot more data then the CD format. What I don't know is if a computer without an OS can read the DVD format.

I use grml for troubleshooting. It comes with excellent hardware detection, the ability to install debian packages, and is geared towards console usage, so you don't need to get x Windows to run.

Thanks.

I haven't tried my Knoppix DVD on my new computer yet but I will.
