Boot Multiple Knoppix based systems

I was just wondering if it would be possible to create a bootable DVD with multiple Knoppix systems on it. e.g Kanotix, Morphix, Auditor etc so that at start up you get a menu so that you can choose which system to run. This would be extremely handy rather than carrying a bunch of CD's around.

Yes this possible. One way to do it would be to use grub as a bootloader and to store all the kernel initrd and loopback files on the dvd and oviously create the proper menu.lst to point to the boot files matching the various boot menu options. Cheers, Gilles
