[syslinux] Syslinux

[Dark Knight]

And I want to make a multiboot dvd with several linux distros and I thought
to put the contents of  ubuntu in /ubuntu , mint in /mint, ... and so on
then modify the initrds and then take the source of the syslinux used in
ubuntu and compile it several times to point to
/ubuntu/isolinux/isolinux.cfg for ubuntu, /mint/isolinux/mint.cfg for mint
and so on. Then, use the Aerostudio to make a menu and access the compiled
isolinux.bin from /ubuntu, /mint ...  . Of course, I will modify the
isolinux.cfgs adding path of initrds and kernel acording to the new path .
The question is how the ubuntu guys modified syslinux, where I find the
modified source and why they stayed at 3.73 version ?
Thanks!
