I could create an ISO using ISO Magic or -?- and I could insert a bunch of data files into that. Then the disk would be bootable to the OS I've burned as the ISO and away I go.
But I don't want to do that.
I would like to keep the 2 parts of the project as independent as I can. I'd like to select a small OS as an ISO, for example, and burn it to a DVD. Then I would like to subsequently open up that same DVD for the addition of more data files. This way I could take my time, adding relevant data files for that OS over a period of months, maybe.
For example: I'm archiving an old (ME) OS. Maybe I'll never use it again, ever. But I'd like to put it, and all the old programs that were suitable to it, on the same disk. (My example isn't too good, because actually ME was not usually on a bootable CD?it ran as unbootable data?but you get the idea.)
What are the different ways of marrying bootable ISOs together with data? Is one way vastly preferable to the others? Should I be looking at what Nero can do, or should I be looking at just going with ISO Magic and creating a big ISO holding a lot of data files?
?Connected to the same question, sort of Part 2: Some of my ISOs are pretty small. I hate to waste most of a perfectly good DVD on them, but these are mostly for archives. Is there a best way that I could create a "rack" of bootable ISOs on a menu, so my disk turned into something like an album of old programs?
