I was wondering if there is any software out there that will allow me
to boot multiple things off of one usb flash drive. Ex. I am wanting
to but "Damn Small Linux", "Emergency Boot CD", an anti-virus scanner
and "Ultimate boot CD" all on one 1gb flash drive. I need a program
that when the bios goes to boot off the flash drive, I will get a
screen asking me which of the above mentioned I want to boot, select it
and then it will boot the selected option.

Use Grub. DSL already includes it I think. Just add other
entries to its menu definition file/

Hey, GarfNodie - when you get your USB thingy working,
would you please post details of how you did it and how
it works for you (not just how well it works, but how you use it)?
It sounds like a cool disaster relief.
