I am wondering if it is possible to put multiple distros on one DVD. I am wanting to put Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Fedora 15 on one DVD so that I can pop it into the cd drive and choose to boot from the DVD into any one of them. I know I can just load them on a virtual machine but I will be using different computers and don't want to install it on all the machines. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi

Have a look at this.

EDIT: I don't make multiboot DVD's so i have no idea what the above software is like. However, i do create multiboot USBs and this is what i use for that.

It works great.

Kind regards

Make your own: Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Mythbuntu All-in-One Live DVD (http://prshah.blogspot.com/2009/10/ive-been-trying-to-make-ubuntu-all-in.html)

This is only for (X,K,Myth)Ubuntu, but it's a no-brainer for other live CDs too.
