[kwlug-disc] question -- booting from multiple ISOs in USB stick?

[Nickle, Brian]

I've recently been using easy2boot
https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://m.easy2boot.com/&ved=0CBsQFjAAahUKEwjg7MOCxpXIAhUMHT4KHRL7CNY&usg=AFQjCNHcaFV0Acf0MC0KNJxyngt96GYvQA&sig2=9rVaDxixf1B3L3zVD1-iNA
to make multi boot USB drives.  I think you need to create the disk in
windows but after that it will just detect any ISO or floppy image you put
on it and boot.

Thanks
