    Well, what I'm really interested in is the install + live file
    system on a single DVD, which is how the DVD's at FreeBSD mall are
    advertised (I've never bought one, myself). So, I can build an
    install CD, I (think I) can build a live file system CD. How do
    you get them both on a DVD, and give the user a boot choice?
