These are the steps necessary to create a DVD with several spins on it:

Prerequisites

• Software: coreutils, grub genisoimage (from the Fedora package repositories=
• ISOs: Images of all spins

Create the directory structure

mkdir multidvd
cd multidvd
mkdir -p ./{i686,x86_64}/{Live,KDE,LXDE,Xfce}
mkdir -p ./i686/boot/grub

Create the boot loader configuration

$EDITOR ./i686/boot/grub/grub.conf

default=0
splashimage=/i686/Live/EFI/boot/splash.xpm.gz
timeout 30
