I think you're looking for something like this. If bob had a file

Right - but if we're talking about gigabytes of photos and music,
then that's less than ideal space-wise. Hence my bringing up Hybrid
CDs.
So it sounds like you really want your gigabytes to be on the HFS side
of the *DVD* right? That certainly isn't supported at the moment,
though I suppose could be made to work. (I have no idea what a hybrid
looks like (automounting and such) to the system currently).
Er, let me be clear - sorry!
I don't actually want a Hybrid disc. I want the data to be available in
the live Linux system, as well as Windows and OS X. Windows and OS X
can read ISO9660 just fine, so there's no need for HFS.
This may be the relevent post, but doesn't add too much-

Thanks - that is relevant, and now I feel silly for having asked the
same question in a separate thread earlier today. (-:
Don't worry, you are just bringing more attention to the need of better
documentation.
To ask a question that I think *hasn't* been asked:
Let's say I want to store big files in the ISO and symlink them to the
user's $HOME. What's the appropriate way to, as part of the bootup
process, mount the DVD? I noticed that, upon booting the live system,
"mount /dev/cdrom" simply told me that it /dev/cdrom wasn't in the
fstab. The /dev/cdrom symlink was set properly, so I could just add
/dev/cdrom to the fstab myself or issue a mount command from an init
script. But is that really the right way to automatically mount the
disc from which the live system is booting?
I think the answer you are looking for is /mnt/live.
It will be mounted, and refers to the cdrom iso9660, or the fs that
hosts the LiveOS on a LiveUSB.
