[expert] cdrom boot manager

2003-09-21 Thread michael
Hey, Is it possible to create a cd with a boot manager built in? I want to put more than one bootable image onto a cd and then give the user a boot manager to choose which image to boot from. I want all this to be located on the disk without having to do anything to the local hard drive.
