multiboot Linux tools and other bootable stuff on one USB drive?
Ok, might sound a bit odd. however I use a few different Linux and windows based self booting tools for working on fixing/diagnosing computers.........
I was wondering if i could partition (s) a large USB flash drive and install my bootable tools, with some kind of bootloader.......including a PartPE image....... and of course a menu (like grub etc).
anyway thought i would ask since it is something i have been looking to do for awhile, just have not found anyone else that has done this..... yes i know you can only have 4 primary partitions just want some ideas.
Please don't misunderstand, i have and do make bootable tools..... would just rather carry one flash drive........ rather then one flash drive and CD's......
This is quite a question, so if several web site links is the best answer with a brief description, then I would appreciate that as well. If it's some kind of bash shell thing, thats fine too.
my current primary computer that has a burner is Ubuntu 10.04. i also have access to OSX and windows machines.
I can use a regular 2.5" USB external hard drive if that would matter. (my tools are only bound to get greater in size so why not).

Thank you to everyone for your suggestions, choosing an answer to accept was a bit difficult........ I will be using more then one of the responses...... dasboot and Yumi seem to be absolutely perfect for my needs..... no more making the same USB tool several times.
