Re: DVD?

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

i have to disagree: here in germany, a cdrom is 99.- dm (a good one),
a dvd drive is 199.- to 219.- dm (a good one).

no one __bying a new computer__ chooses cdrom, because dvd isn´t much more
expensive, and software will get in, soon.

produceing a dvd is about 3x of produceing one cd, at the level of 5000 pieces.
so, with > 4 cd´s expeceted for debian you can produce a dvd instead 
and make profit. not to say, that you can sell a dvd at a higher price ...

i also saw, that dvd company said "we accept several cdroms and combine them
to a dvd for you". but i´m not sure if they can do this for unix. i guess
we need an iso9660 filesytem on the dvd (can windows read that ?), and
we need the dvd bootable.

and i guess liek with a cdrom you can boot only one architecture with a dvd.
but i don´t know anything about the boot process of other architectures.
