is there a way to put several dsl isos and burn them on cd/dvd so that the different version can be selected and started at boot time in a menu or sth like that?

It's probably easier to put them in all in 1 track, modify the names of the files (KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX, minirt24.gz, linux24), and modify the bootloader.

You can use the cheatcodes knoppix_dir and knoppix_name to change the location of where KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX is searched.

Add a new entry for each version of DSL, like

label dsl3.4
kernel linux-dsl3.4
append ..the regular stuff.. knoppix_dir=dsl34

Then when you boot and the first word is dsl3.4 it boots the ver you specified in that entry..
