Ok, I've been searching around the internet for info about multi-bootable CDs (yes, i've seen Bart's pages, and I've seen the BootScriptor and CDShell utilities). What I'm trying to figure out, without reading through endless little details, is:
Is there any way to make a multi-boot CD/DVD, from something other than just bootable floppy images?
Say, for instance, that I'd want a single DVD that boots up to a menu, that then let's me pick from the following items: (this is just a contrived theoretical example of what I might like to do)
1) install Windows XP (in other words, include a backup copy of my Windows XP CD on this multi-boot DVD)
1) install Windows 98SE (in other words, include a backup copy of my Windows 98SE CD on this multi-boot DVD)
2) run Knoppix (in other words, another boot image contained on the multi-boot DVD would be the bootable Knoppix CD image)
3) run Western Digital Drive Utilities (a bootable floppy image)
4) run Maxtor Drive Utilities (a bootable floppy image)
5) run Seagate Drive Utilities (a bootable floppy image)
6) run AIDA16 (a bootable floppy image)
7) run dban (a bootable floppy image)
8) etc, etc.
So, is something like this even remotely possible? Or am I just dreaming? Or am I limited to just a CD/DVD that only has multiple floppy boot images on it?
