multicd.sh - combine Linux ISOS into one

[iomari]

I am not sure what is the point of going through the troubles to make a multiboot live CDs. CDs are slow, bulky and can't save settings. IMO it is going the way of floppies.

There is a tutorial for making a multi-boot usb

There is also a Ubuntu utility for making multiboot usb that you can download and install

Sorry for the spoiling the enthusiasm, I just can't see the point.

The point that you can't see is that each iso that you make with this tool uses isohybrid which allows you to "burn" it to flash or usb HD. Also, some older systems can't boot from usb.

I am not sure what is the point of going through the troubles to make a multiboot live CDs. CDs are slow, noisy, bulky, fragile and can't save settings and burning CD is relatively easy to go wrong. Most netbooks don't even have CD ROMS. IMO CDs are dying technology going the way of floppies. I sure would not show off Linux to my friends with a live CD because that makes Linux looks so yesterday.

what are you saying? Do you wanna me to sacrifice 4-8 GB drive to save OS? then who told you ""most of Notebook"" did not include DVD?What about old laptop?
We are in new era dude,if you wanna to ""waste" flash thats up to you,& if you wanna to "waste" a DVD,that also up to you,but let me ask you one question: which is cheaper & effective?
you can waste 0.15$ for a DVD then you can archive it, you can also waste 8$ USB then throw it in the desk till the required time,&,what about losing your usb drive in critical time?
----------------------------------------

please maybeway add the following Iso to the supported list, i`ll try to cheat to add it as gparted or other linux in the mean time.
SabayonLinux

This utility makes an ISO image that can also be written onto a USB flash drive with dd. Although the image is read-only when you do it this way, it seems a lot simpler to me than manually copying the files and making a FAT partition bootable, especially if you're going to be updating it a lot. In other words, MultiCD lets you use your USB drive like a CD-RW (but bigger!)

Also, some old computers won't boot from USB. But this is becoming less and less of a problem.

By the way, my other project NetbootCD is bootable from a set of 5 floppies: http://netbootcd.tuxfamily.org And no, I can't justify that.

please add zorin,Pinguy,Fusion-linux & Sabayon to the supported iso.
I tried to add zorin as iso files which support live media path kernel parmeter but failed.

thank you very much

thanks again.
BTW, I think you need to update your home page with all the new distros you have added recently.

The version in the git repository has Zorin, Pinguy, and Fusion Linux. Sabayon will be next, then I'll release it as version 6.7.
