Multi Boot DVD [SOLVED]

[BigSteve_G]

I recently had the idea of creating a multi boot DVD - the idea being one DVD from which I could install Mint 12 gnome / Mint 12 lxde / Mint 9 or Mint 10.

I did the reserch with google and came across this site http://multicd.tuxfamily.org/ which was very usefull.
So I downloaded the script file, followed the instructions & made my DVD (worked perfect)

However being a perfectionist I then started to play around with it a little - nothing major just edditing the isolinux.cfg file (menu title & line titles only), created my iso file & tested it.

The result = it didnt work, which ever option I select from the multiboot menu came up with an error saying something about label not found.

Anybody any ideas? (as even just changing the menu title has the same effect)

-Update-

I ended up edditing the multicd.sh file (to change the title) ran it & tested the resulting .iso & it worked 1st time no problem (Mint 12 gnome, lxde, Mint 9, Puppylinux & KonBoot on 1 DVD).

Strange thing now though - I then added a directory & few files to the .iso using isomaster & re-tested it. Whenever I select any of the Mint options (which loads a sub menu (the Mints origingal isolinux.cfg)) I get the previous mentioned error saying it can find the labels (which I didnt change), but if I select KonBoot or PuppyLinux which loads strright from the multiboot menu (not via a sub-menu) it works.

I cant see any chksum files that maybe causing the problem so I'm a bit confused how adding stuff to the DVD could stop isolinux loading submenus. - Any ideas anyone?

-Update-

Solved it-

I noticed that before creating the .iso file the mutlicd.sh script creates a temp' directory which it uses for the .iso's directory stucture so I simply paused the script pre-mkisofs, made my additions & alterations then let the script build the .iso

I now have a multi-boot dvd from which I can install Mint 12 gnome, Mint 12 lxde, Mint 9, run Pupply Linux or Kon-Boot all with nice looking menus (I will post a screenshot later)
