And you'd need to burn the packages of all extra software you want (e.g. *-dev) + dependecies - in case that you want to install them later. Might turn out that you need a copy of http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/dists/chimaera-* of whatever architecture you want to use. Don't know how big a copy of one architecture might be, but I guess you should use BD instead of DVD.
