Installation DVD containing all versions of Ubuntu
Many people must download several versions of Ubuntu on CD. Proposed is one DVD that contains all versions of Ubuntu (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Mythbuntu, Server, Edbuntu, etc) in both architectures (32 and 64 bit) and containing a "live" image. Upon boot with the disk in the drive, user should be presented with a simple menu (Ubuntu Live, First Hard Disk, Advanced). the Advanced option would provide access to Memory Test, Create CD Installation Media & Install. Install options would be presented as Version (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, etc), Arch (32 or 654 bit), Method (Graphical or Text) and Type (DVD, Net, etc). A single screen with options of Person Name, PC Name, Partition options, Timezone, etc should be presented. This would allow the user to fill the needed fields, then "walk away" while the install completes and not have to "click through" screens as the install progresses. Options to record choices for "answer file". Answer file available from network, usb, floppy, etc. Install screens (when booting from DVD and choosing install, instead of live) should be identical to "live" install screens.
End goal being - User downloads _one_ DVD, with all versions of Ubuntu. User can create CD media for other installs if needed. Maybe also keep a plain 32bit Ubuntu Live CD available for people on restricted broadband connections.
