You talk about putting these images on optical media, but never suggest
how.

That was an exercise I was going to leave to the reader, but I can include
it if so desired.

I don't care too much; it just seemed like you put a lot of effort into helping people put the images on flash media, but after having mentioned a DVD, said nothing about cdrw or cdrecord, or the use of double- sided or double-layered DVDs that might actually hold the whole thing, etc. I don't
know that putting this stuff on a DVD makes much sense, but then why
mention it at all?


I didn't provide explicit instructions for the DVD case because I felt that was a pretty common operation, while dumping an ISO image to a flash device is decidedly not.

I'm also not certain if cdrecord or cdrw are capable of writing the resulting 6.6GB iso to a DVD-10 disc.


Obviously, the split ISOs can be written to a "standard" DVD-5 disc. I suppose the reasoning for burning these images would be that the system you want to use them on is not network accessible.
