multi ISO burning
 
I did a quick search and didn't see what i was looking for so here goes a newbie question. Is there a way to burn 2,3 or 4 different Linux iso's on a single dvd so when you put in dvd it pops up to ether install or run live. just a curious question so i can see if i can consolidate distros. thanks for any help.

If you are looking to make dvd which contains more than 1 linux distro live or installer than:
You have make a one according your requirements
for building bootable iso you can use mkisofs tool
and linking the boot menus you have learn about bootloaders such as grub,isolinux.

Using Grub2, you can simply download Ubuntu or Ubuntu derivative iso files, put them in a folder, install Grub2 into the folder and create a grub.cfg file with the appropriate loopback entries and boot any of them from the menu. You can also use either isolinux or grub legacy to boot a DVD with multiple distributions on them although the process is different. As indicated above, whichever method you use, you will need to use the mkisofs command to create a single iso image to burn to a DVD.
