Re: DVD distribution?

[Andreas Jellinghaus <aj@dungeon.inka.de>]

it is unlikely that linux will get a dvd software decoder soon.

but:
 - dvd drives are supported as good as cdrom drives
 - the dvd filesystem is not yet ported to linux (not sure),
   but you could put a iso9660 filesystem on a dvd, i guess.
 - at the international film and tv exhibition in germany a
   dvd decoder board was shown. you will be able to buy it in a
   few weeks. yes, it works with linux.

so, if someone had enough disk space and a dvd writer, i see no
problem for creating debian dvd´s. but creating dvd´s is not cheap...
