FWIW: for our X/OS Linux (RHEL rebuild) I include (during the
DVD/CD generation process, after the CD "splittree") a file list
on the DVD for each CD and the necessary .discinfo files, and a
small tool (dvd2cd) that creates a CD ISO (you only have to give
the CD sequence number) from a mounted DVD image, including a
bootable CD #1 etc.

I'll happily post the few bits of code here, if anyone is interested,
so that Fedora can include that in their image generate process.

I currently do not implant checksums, as this requires that the
system on which this is done is a RH-ish system, which may not
always be true, but this option can be added easily of course.
