backup to dvd from cds

[Vliam]

I have .net 2002 and just bought a dvd writer. I was wondering how I could
backup all of the discs onto a single dvd. I have found one method for
2003. Basically, you edit the disc names in the setup.msi program to read
the name of the dvd rather than the indivual names of the cds. Is this a
reasonable method? Is there anything else that I might need to know. I
will probably give it a try on a rewritable. I just thought that maybe
someone else has already done this and may have some tips. It seems as if
it should be much easier than going from dvd to cds which may be nearly
impossible.

if you create an ISO image of the disks, using a program like Nero or
alcohol 120% then you could in theory keep them on DVD,and have them install
from virtuald evices that the programs support
