I have a bootable install DVD that I want to install on a older test server that only has a CD Rom. How can I copy that DVD onto multiple CD's in order to install.
This server is a DL320 which has a combo CD/Floppy which is scsi. I have tried to unplug it and plug in a IDE DVD rom with no luck. Won't boot to the ide dvd rom.
Tried ubuntu live CD and tried mounting the ISO, but haven't been able to get that to work.
My options I can come up with. Either purchase a new dvd/floppy combo, or get a way to burn that install dvd onto multiple CD's. I am trying to do this with no additional cost as I have enough into my lab equipment already.
Notes: DVD is an OS and application bootable DVD. So the CD has to be bootable as well. Also, I did create an ISO of it, so I can burn the CD from that.
So any advice on programs to do that?

I have used external USB DVD drives to install DVD media, but the better answer is to pick up (or make) a netboot CD that the server can read, and use it to install over the network.
