Re: [Trinux-talk] [OT] - Multiple boot CDROM from ISO's - Possible?

Hi

You can also boot from multiple floppy images (up to 2.88 mb) using 
SYSLINUX with the 'kernel memdisk'
option specified in the syslinux.cfg. Also ISOLINUX could be used. Both are 
in the syslinux package
by Peter Anvin. Current version is 1.72 or higher and is available all over 
the net.

You can use the different floppy images to boot different configurations, 
either contained in a single image, or the image mounts the CD for the rest 
of its files...

Tracks aren't really needed with a ISOLINUX setup.

Look at http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#multimemdisk for an example. Also on this 
site a link to the origin of the
'El Torito' name.
