Background of MultiBootISOs:
MultiBootISOs is an easy to use installer script (a simple GUI) I wrote using NS
IS to help automate the creation of a bootable USB Flash Drive that can be used
to boot multiple ISO files.
The end result should be a bootable USB Flash drive that will get you up and run
ning with your chosen Live Distributions, from Grub, all without having to do th
e research and perform the steps by hand.
My work consists of creating/maintaining the MultibootISOs-USB-Creator.nsi scrip
t, initial creation and continued maintenance of the menu entries, adding sugges
ted entries, and testing to make sure the ISO's/extractions boot.
In my opinion, the authors of syslinux and grub have already done the hard work.
I used their official tools and documentation to make everything work together.

How MultiBootISOs Works:
This tool utilizes Syslinux to make the drive bootable. A syslinux.cfg file with
only a grub entry is used to chainload grub.exe, handing control over to Grub4D
OS.
As usual with grub, a menu.lst containing boot menu entries is used to finally b
oot the ISO(s).
Credits, Resources, and Third Party Tools used:

* Syslinux 1994-2010 H. Peter Anvin http://syslinux.zytor.com (unmodified binary
used)
* grub.exe Grub4DOS 2004-2010, the Gna! people http://www.gnu.org/software/grub (

os/
* NSIS Installer 2010 Contributors http://nsis.sourceforge.net (needed to compile
the MultiBootISOs.nsi script)
The first MultiBootISO's script was loosly based on Cedric Tissieres's Tazusb.ex
e for Slitaz (slitaz@objectif-securite.ch). His Tazusb installer helped me quick
ly understand how NSIS works, and how it could be applied to this custom situati
on.
There were also many other textbook and online resources used to help me underst
and how to put this all together.
