Thank you. That is what I will do, then.

Thanks, I'll take a look at it.

Currently, they all reside on the same partition. I suppose a bit of
hacking could put each on its own. An interesting thought. But that's
more work than I want to do right now

IIUC `grub-imageboot`s boot entries boot the ISOs by running the
`memdisk` program, passing it the ISO. I don't re

Aha! Thank you.
Near as I can tell, somewhere along the line the kernel and initrd are
extracted from the (CD|DVD|diskette) image. My software doesn't even
require that. Grub

Nice. In the past I've used the `grub-imageboot` package
I've developed a script and suitable grub stanzas to let the user
install several CD-ROM images on a hard drive, and boot from the
