Can I put multiple boot CDs on one flash drive as partitions?

I want to put every tool I have on a 4GB flash drive. So far I have my XP SP2 install, which I would like to be bootable for install like the CD, Ultimate Boot CD for tools, and maybe Hiren's boot cd as well. I also want to install Ubuntu or some form of linux onto the flash drive.

I was thinking I could partition it out, if that works on flash drives, and put each program in a separate partition. Then would I be able to choose which one from the BIOS before hand?

I know of Billix which is a USB Linux distro that has multiple installation sources on it, I never took the time to figure out how Bill did it though.

You would be very very hard pressed to fit that on 4GB. I would look at an 8GB drive. I once put a full Debian 4.0/Mysql/Apache/Perl/ISPConfig setupon a 4GB drive. It was neat to have.
