I apologize if there's already enough information in the forums somewhere on this, but so far I haven't been able to find it. Everything I've seen describes how to put multiple Windows versions on 1 disc, or multiple Linux versions, but what about a bootable disc that has the install for your favorite version of Windows and apps, and the install for your favorite distro. of Linux?

For people like me who use both considerably, it would truly be an boon to have such a disc.

If it could be done, a hint on how to get started would help me. I can probably figure it out if I was sure where to start. I guess maybe it would be similar to emulating a "boot menu" program in the bootable sector? If so then it's a matter of whether or not any Linux "boot menus" would work, or would you have to use the Windows boot menu thingie like you might with a hard drive, and tweaking the Linux entry?

Thanks.

Check out ISOLinux. Its a fun fast and easy boot loader that a lot of linux distros use to kick off their installations and it also supports loading the cdrom boot sectors of WinNT/2K/XP discs for installation of windows. It may not be as pretty as cdshell or bootable cd wizard, but its rather easy to work with. I think I remember reading something around here about multibooting on a dvd with win/linux...try a search for knoppix as I think thats what they were trying to get working.

Cheers
