I've been trying to compile all versions of Ubuntu onto a DVD for my own personal use, but have been running into some issues getting the Ubuntu installers working correctly.
Here are the details:
I've laid out the DVD filesystem as follows:
/
/isolinux (contains boot loader files with modified Ubuntu boot loader)
/amd64
/x86
/jeos
under each of the directories is a complete image of each installation CD (copied using cp -rT /media/cdrom0/ ./x86 etc.). I then modified the isolinux.cfg file (in /isolinux) to launch the appropriate installer (kernel /x86/install/vmlinuz, and so on).
The problem is, once the installer has launched, it looks for the installation files at the root of the CD media, for example:
1) It looks for /cdrom/.disk, when it's actually in /cdrom/x86/.disk
2) It looks for /cdrom/install, when it's in /cdrom/x86/install
etc.
Is it possible to fool / remount the filesystem or use some other form of hackery to achieve having multiple distributions install from one DVD?
Any help is much appreciated!
