Yes your FAT PS2 should read Dual Layered discs as long as the laser is in good shape.

I have compiled a few games onto one DVD, but can't say I ever tried it on a dual layer disc.

The dual layer discs are good to back up DVD9 PS2 games though.

There is tutorials in this thread on compiling Multi Disc

You have to go through the first few pages for all the info, and perhaps check the last few pages.

Not sure what all capabilities your Netbook has, or I would suggest an external USB drive that you could connect your PS2 hdd too and use Winhiip that way.
You could also just use hdl server and hdl dump to copy games to PS2 hdd. It is slow but it works.

Or just use an external USB drive to store games on and use OPL (Open PS2 Loader) v0.7 to play games.

The games can be installed using USBUTIL v2

So theres a few options for you, and hopefully surprise a kid for his birthday.
