    Hello hackers,

    I am a board member of the Dutch Unix Users Group, and we would like to
    make a DVD with several free/open UNIX releases together with the Dutch
    Hobby Computer Club/UNIX.

    The DVD boots a program that lets the user select the OS (s)he wants to
    install, and then pseudo-boots the boot image of that OS.

    Problem: all the FreeBSD files need to be in /. This clashes with other
    distributions on the same DVD. I would like to have everyting in
    /FreeBSD or some other subdirectory instead.

    Has anybody done such a thing before, or knows of someone who has?

    Regards,
    Walter.
