How Do I Create A Multiboot Dvd With Windows Vista, Xp, Windows 2003 And Windows 98?

I have windows vista, xp, windows 2003, and windows 98 on separate discs, and will like to create a type of multi boot dvd which will enable me to book from the dvd and select the appropriate operating system that I want to install. How do I go about it? Please give me detailed answers or point me to a site where I can get more info. I have some multi boot dvds created without Vista. What I really want is a multi boot dvd that has vista included.

considering that Vista’s install environment has a completely different runtime then XP/2k3, you would actually need to put a boot manager and two partitions on your DVD.
the alternative would be to start a virtual machine in one of the runtime to launch the other installer / runtime?
(but, seriously: XP, 2K3 (and 2K, for that matter) are all NT5 and thus share the same kernel basics; 98 installs from a DOS box which the NT5 installer (or the NT6 / Vista installer, for that matter) can start; the XP / 2Kx installer offers the option to start a command prompt aka DOS box, thus it’s just a matter to kick off the Win98 installer in it.
starting a NT5 installer from NT6 / Visto (or vice et versa) is a different story)
how ’bout settling for *TWO* DVDs and labeling them properly?
