Making a multi-boot Linux Live DVD with Knoppix

[sunnyjpop]

Hello!

Here is the problem:

I would very much like to make a bootable DVD of three different flavours of Linux Live CD Images (Knoppix, Slax, MandrakeMOVE). Rather then make 3 separate CD's, I was wondering if it was possible to make a Multi-Boot DVD containing all 3 images?

I am using them to decide which system I will eventually install, and would also like the ability to give others a chance to try each of the distributions out.

Is this possible? If so, how would I go about doing this? (I am a beginner at these things...!)

Am I trying to do the impossible?

Thanks.

Here is what I've got working so far:

I placed Knoppix 3.3 and Morphix on one DVD and used CD Shell (www.cdshell.org). I was able to boot those two systems seperately, because they have different root-folders (see below).

With Knoppix >3.3, I ve been stucked because I dont know how to generate the boot.img which has been formerly shipped with Knoppix 3.3.

One great disadvantage is further that you need the KNOPPIX folder at root level, and many knoppix derivatives name their folders KNOPPIX, too.

If you place them in a subfolder, but when you do this, you may remaster the linuxrc in miniroot.gz.

The easy way would be if there were a possibility to boot the ISOs directly, so you can put Knoppix.iso, Kanotix.iso etc. directly on your media and boot them like in vmware. But unfortunately, I didn't found a tool to do so.
