Goodnight.
There are 2-3 distributions with boot images of various operating systems + live usb. Having a separate flash drive or disk for each of them is a bad option. Is it possible to glue them into one package with a selection menu (maybe some general guide on the process - how, in what language, etc., any push in the direction of where to dig, or even some kind of program)?
Thanks in advance.

copy all your distributions to a USB flash drive as ISO images. Install the bootloader, www.syslinux.org , in which you list all your systems as a menu.
Done.
If only there was enough space on the flash drive.

A bootable ISO image (single file) and the whole bootable media structure formed from it (directories, files, bootloader, ...) are far from the same thing.
The intention of pushing multiple ISOs onto a single bootable media is a bad idea. What will you do if the filenames in the images of different bootable media start to match? (and it will most likely be so ... sooner or later).
