I have 5 or 6 different bootable floppy drives, partition magic, norton ghost, etc. I want to make them all bootable off a single CD, thumbdrive, etc. with a simple multimenu in dos. I've created the bootable thumb drive, and I've messed with the [menu] commands and such, but I can't get it to work. Is there a way to make a simple boot option to say, use this config.sys and this autoexec.bat?

Thanks!

The Menu has to be placed in a config.sys file like in the old Dos 6.22 days.

I know I can use [menu] in the config.sys, but I guess I am asking to add a menu before that. A menu that let's you choose which config.sys and autoexec.bat to use. In other words, have a boot disk with a bunch of different folders and be able to boot to, folder B or whatever.
