I am not in front of my test machine but you may can provide a script
which merges the downloaded cdroms into a dvd.iso locally on the
client?
Loopback mount every cdrom.iso, then extract the contents to the local
filesystem and then create a dvd.iso. The only thing of I do not know
is how to get the dvd.ido to boot afterwards, but this should not be
impossible, shoudn't it?
Of course this uses a lot of disk space.
bis dahin/kind regards
