multiboot iso images
can anyone help me? i've pretty much mastered making multiboot floppy image cd's. what i really need now is a way to choose between multiple cd iso images. for instance. i want to burn a dvd or cd that will give me a menu of iso images that i can run. so if i want to choose between knoppix, smoothwall, netbox, partition magic, etc., i should be able to. only prob is that i can't figure it out.
any suggestions?

Doesn't work that way.

No, but it isn't hard to do what he wants.

I made a bootable DVD that either boots Knoppix, or installs RedHat 9 or
Mandrake 9.1. Knoppix was the easy part, for redhat and mandrake I had
to change the stage1 loader in order to have them in sub-directories.

But for smoothwall, partition magic and others, as they fit in single
floppy images (although some may need images of 2.44 MB), it isn't even
required an iso per application.
