 Any idea please

Install Squeeze to the USB stick. One partition. No swap. Deselect all
predefined collections of software and have GRUB in the MBR.

Put the ISOs you want to boot from somewhere convenient. For example,
/boot/grub/isos. Have stanzas in /etc/grub.d/40_custom to boot up the
ISOs and then 'update-grub'.

I've been using multisystem for about 2 years, with very satisfactory results.
