    Maybe you should look into unetbootin. It should be available in your system repos.

    Unetbootin allows for fairly simple creation of USB installations. And from there, you'll be able to set-up a multi-boot drive.
    What about that doesn't fit your needs?

    There is no program available to make a multiboot thumbdrive automatically. Well, there is one but you have to buy it. It will require a bit of work on your end for a free solution. Not very hard though.

    Here is my tutorial on how to make a multiboot thumbdrive with Unetbootin.

    Ubuntu 4 You: MultiBootin With UNetbootin. A Multiboot Flash Drive Tutorial

    Another good tutorial can be found here;

    Roll Your Own Multiboot USB Tool | USERBYTES.COM

    This tutorial is how to use the included script to make multiboot Cd's and DVD's. It will help you understand the way multiboot works and how the folders and files are set up.

    Have fun. I know I did when I started making my own multiboot's.
