I wouldn't know, but if you find out, please share!!! I may use that to make a DVD with GNOME, KDE, XFCE, (and if room) E17.

for your "Project" you dont need , to change so much , a made a "MutibootDVD" for a long time ;)

Sorry for my bad english ,but i hope you understand that :)

First you need , from evevery ubuntu distro a iso ( i take a 32 and 64 bit iso)


Then create a Multiboot folder !
Then in this folder a 32 and 64 bit folder !!

Then but all files from the iso , in the right folder ..32 bit in 32bit ......

Then copy the isolinux folder from ...32 bit version in the Multiboot foler -> look like that

-Multiboot folder
-32bit folder
-64bit folder
-isolinux folder

In the isolinux folder, you must custumize the isolinux.cfg its easy ;)

bsp.:

DEFAULT /Ubuntu32bit/casper/vmlinuz
GFXBOOT bootlogo
GFXBOOT-BACKGROUND 0xB6875A
APPEND file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/32bit/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash --

LABEL live-32-bit
menu label ^Start or install Ubuntu-32bit
kernel /32bit/casper/vmlinuz
append file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/32bit/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash --

LABEL live-64-bit
menu label ^Start or install Ubuntu-64bit
kernel /64bit/casper/vmlinuz
append file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/64bit/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash --

append boot=casper integrity-check initrd=/32bit/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash --
LABEL memtest
menu label ^Memory test

append -

menu label ^Boot from first hard disk

(Change USER)

Thats all , you foun the Multiboot iso in your home folder :D
