    Multiple Distros on the SAME USB

    Hello,

    I got Fedora LiveCD version on my USB....but I would like to test many other distros on the same USB.

    Is there a way to have all of the distros on my USB, and when I open the boot menu on startup, I can choose which distro to boot?

    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    You can burn a Parted Magic Iso Cd and plug in your USB and divide up the drive into 3 unallocated partitions Keeping your Fedora partition alone and instact I guess to make room for all 3 Ubuntus. Then do a persistant install for each one using Pendrive Linux Site instructions for persistant installs.

    You might also want to let Ubuntus Grub loader Take over from Fedora. I have never done what you are trying to do so I am not a expert at what you are trying to do by any means. Is this a External Hardrive or a Large Flashdrive? And if External Hardrive, What type?
