I did one once before that had 3 small distros, just as a test. I might
try it again with a DVD and something larger. Just for a little
variety along with some extra software.
But first I need to remaster the Dapper CD so I don't have to keep
adding the "persistent" command to use the persistence of an external
flash drive. Maybe I'll put that one on the DVD with a couple of
others.
