Does it mean I could use it as a boot image for the FDNPKG all_cd.iso? 
Have you tried to integrate it already by any chance?

zip. single. but anyway, you shouldn't really care - that's something 
that should be handled by the package installer backend. "just unzip" 
won't work. too many details to take care of.

FDNPKG uses a multi-repositories concept that is explicitely compatible 
with ISO9660, exactly for the purpose of being used on an installation CD.

xcopy, deltree, zip, unzip and fc - I'm not sure I understand why these 
are required?
