Is there a good reason why the DVDs are copied to /media? $HOME is where
they are so that would seem to be the natural place to dd them to. If
the user has no root privileges it is the only place for them. So:

 $HOME/distributionA/DVD1.iso
 $HOME/distributionA/DVD2.iso
 .
 .
 $HOME/distributionA/DVDn.iso

    bsdtar -C $HOME/distributionA/ -xf $HOME/distributionA/DVD1.iso pool

    chmod -R u=rwX,go=rX $HOME/distributionA/pool

    bsdtar -C $HOME/distributionA/ -xf $HOME/distributionA/DVD2.iso
    .
    .
    bsdtar -C $HOME/distributionA/ -xf $HOME/distributionA/DVDn.iso

    chmod -R u=rX,go=rX $HOME/distributionA/pool
