This looked interesting, but when I tried it, my stick booted to
grub-rescue. Tried twice, also with USB HDD, which simply booted the
native OS on the machine.
If someone wants to spend an hour or so playing, I'll offer coffee.
Multisystem seems so far the best, but live-fat-stick does offer a

Summary of what I've found.
Note that I was trying to work with a fairly old 40GB IDE (PATA) drive
in a NextStar case. 2.5", powered by USB with Y cable to get extra
power. I suspect a lot of the issues I've encountered are that BIOS code
does not always handle boot from USB HDD as well as USB
So I found the USB pendrive, and the boot stuff on it is called YUMI. It
looks like it's from pendrive linux...
The link google found me is:
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/
I'm not sure how I installed it, I certainly didn't use windows or wine
when i made mine...

I have a setup like that on a 16GB usb key. I forget the name, but it was
a pretty basic syslinux based boot, and it would scan a directory for ISOs
and present them all as "boot options". It "just worked" on the computers
I tested it on, I used it mainly for debian-live and for
debian-testing-ne
THanks. I'd thought of the XXXLinux approaches, but have only used them
for individual images (and frankly used them but did not learn much how
they work). I should probably look further into it.
However, by using archivemount I found the name of the initrd and kernel
for TinyCore-current and g

I've an old 40G 2.5" drive from a dead laptop that is in a USB case.
My thought was to use it for holding a bunch of .iso images of liveCDs.
However, I've had no joy trying to set up booting of these.
Multisystem "sort of" worked once. Seems glitchy, and attached to
different systems had diff
