Has anyone been using Bootable CD Wizard v1.50z (http://bootcd.narod.ru) an english translation is available on the website. Just about anything you can boot from a cd or floppy can be added. You can require a password to boot the cd in the latest version
That's what I've been using for a multiboot CD. It works well and is very easy since it is made as a plugin for BartPE.
I have many old Dos disks and commandline apps now on the CD, some as floppy images, many included in folder(s) bootable from the menu. Some had to be editted before making the images though since certain apps need a writable media to execute from. (Log file creation etc)
I use the xmsdsk ramdrive (loaded from autoexec.bat) to copy files to for execution, since it's a writable media.
Also have Knoppix on the same CD.
and
I changed the autorun to run my own menu of freeware apps when inserted in the Windows enviroment. (instead of nu2menu)
Basically, there's nothing that cannot be added depending on space available.
There is talk of duplicate files and cdimage to keep the CD under 700mb. Another thing to do is get rid of duplicate apps. eg: Why have more than one browser, or file manager etc? (Antivi needs second opinion) Pick the best of each application for your purposes and go with it, and don't include plugins you'll never use.
