Yeah, I basically was just focussing on the mechanics of getting the
data out of the .iso image.

Why would you want to do that, surely the DVD images are separate files?
Or have the DVDs already been burned and you've yet to DD the images of
them? In which case, you could modify the loop:
dn=/media/distributionA
for disc in $( seq 1 N ); do
echo "Please insert disc ${disc}"
read newline
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
rsync -aP /mnt/cdrom "${dn}/DVD${disc}"/
umount /mnt/cdrom
done
That will prompt on each disc.
Someone asked why rsync? Well, cp would do the job too I guess, rsync
will resume an interrupted copy whereas cp won't. Piping tar to itself
is another way.
