i have tried these things in multiboot dvd,1. XP Pro SP3 without driverpacks
2. XP Pro SP3 with driverpacks
3. Hiren'sBootCD
4. Fedora
5. Ubuntu
I used Balder's Scripts to integrate them. XP and Hiren's worked well but Fedora and Ubuntu won't start. i used memdisk xxx.img.gz as the command for Fedora and Ubuntu. in Easyboot i did the checklist "joliet" and "Allow lower case".
did i do something incorrect?

@AsenkQuote: "Fedora and Ubuntu won't start"
What version of Ubuntu are we dealing with?
Further more - to solve Ubuntu - did you read post nr;16 < HERE >
Note: I can not help you with "Fedora" for the moment, as I'm not working with my "home-computer" (won't be home until 5 days from now).
Test solution to Ubuntu and see if it works

@asenkQuote; i'm dealing with ubuntu 10.04
Well I'm unsure if grub-"kicker-image" developed for Ubuntu has the right inputs - but no harm in testing.
Follow: "How to use ubuntu.ISO-file in EasyBoot" in post nr; 16 < HERE >
Otherwise you have to wait 5 days as I'm "unplugged" from Internet these 5 days

Can't tell to 100% if this works and exactly what folders that is needed from feodora ISO-file
However as it seems that you can launch Ubuntu ISO-file as it is, you can test this solution for feodora:
1. Extract everything from Feodora ISO-file to folder disk1
2. Extract boot-file from Feodora ISO-file to folder ezboot (I used UltraIso for this operation) use any name to boot-file (feodora.bif or whatever)
3. Set command in Easyboot: bootinfotable;run feodora.bif
4. Check "Joliet", when creating ISO in Easyboot
This is the last respons for at least 4 days ahead from me
