I have an acer travelmate laptop that i'm trying to create the recovery dvd(s) for. I am stuck at this screen: alt text

This machine doesn't have an optical drive. Sure, I could connect an external one - but ideally I want to store these 3 DVDs as ISO files on my network (as not to create clutter)

Is there a way of mapping a "virtual" optical drive, to save the written to contents as ISO?
