    dual boot live cd

    i have tried a quick google but found nothing useful.
    what i would like to do is make a live cd with two live OS's on the one cd. im not too keen on trying grub or lilo on the cd as the configuration (if its even possible) would blow my mind.
    any ideas?

    It would have to be a DVD, as two OS's would not fit on one CD. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try downloading to ISO images of live CD's(ex.,Knoppix and Ubuntu)and burn them to a DVD. I'm not sure how this would work without a boot loader to choose between them. But, maybe after you got one running you could switch to the other. (Just a guess) Please post back with your results, it will be interesting to see what's happens. Good luck.

    Which operating systems did you have in mind Live CDs are mainiy Linux based although you can produce an XP Live CD based around BartPE ?
    Having the two on on CD I cant see of a real benefit as you would still have to reboot to select which you wanted to use from a boot manager style window.
