Hey, Is it possible to create a cd with a boot manager built in? I want to put more than one bootable image onto a cd and then give the user a boot manager to choose which image to boot from. I want all this to be located on the disk without having to do anything to the local hard drive.
Some background... I do computer tech support, etc. and I have one of those bootable disks that resets NT passwords. I would like to also have a copy of lnxbbc (which is a bootable 'live' cd / mini distro), and I may also come up with some other hair-brained idea to stick something else on this disk. I want to be able to basically have a little tool box on a mini cdr. I also have some partition magic images which boot from dr. dos and I don't really want to have to screw around getting them to boot and run from linux. It seems like the quickest and easiest method would be to just have a 'mbr' with a loader on the cd itself and then pointer files to the different images. IIRC the El Torito spec is supposed to support this very thing and it seems like that's probably what's happening on a linux install disk when you pick which type of install you want to do - I'm not sure. Anyway, any ideas?
