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?
