Hello all,

I'm not quite sure where to post this, so I'll try the newbie section since I'm a relative n00b to making bootable DVDs.

I have several different LiveCD distros including Knoppix, Ultimate BootCD, Auditor, etc. I just ran out of CD-Rs, so rather than burning to a few CD-RWs that are currently in use, I thought to myself - "Self, I wonder if there's a way to put all of these isos on a bootable DVD?" Since I didn't know the answer, I'll put it to you - the able minded people on afterdawn forums.

Is there a way to create a bootable DVD containg several bootable CD isos, and create some sort of script that allows the user to select which bootable cd to load? This way I could have a DVD of linux distros (SUSE, Slackware, Knoppix) to compare before installation; a DVD of security tools (Knoppix-STD, Auditor, Whoppix, etc); and a DVD of Windows (Ultimate BootCD, BartPE, etc). Carrying around 3 DVDs rather than 8+ CDs would be much better and easier to manage.

Thanks in advance!!

Copying isn't much of a problem. Creating the menus you want would be more difficult and getting ISOs playing is fun as well, since to play they have to be in a virtual drive or used with software that can handle ISO files. And yes... you're in the wrong place, this section is for backing up DVD video.
