It might be possable , depends on how much of the extra stuff you leave out, if you just include the install files it should work

Download for a start the 3 in 1 windows 95 98 SE , Win Me from the page (you know wich one i mean) compare that with the orignal Win 95 CD and Win 98 SE and Win Me CD\'s then you know which files i have deleted from those OSes to make that 3 in 1 work, and read the how to\'s from this page, ones again twinkie made some fine ones, there isn\'t anyone who gonna explain you step by step how to make those CD\'s cause there are already so many webpage,s explaning that step by step
I\'m i big newbie on this part too but i figured it out how to do it just by reading and searching and trying not by asking cause the you better can ask if some one want to make it for you

(sorry guys but this guy has bugging me already on a other webpage under a fake name and even over there i explained him read up and try it yourself)

burn only the win95 folder (from your win95 cd, thats what contain all the files to install windows), win98 folder, for win me, i wouldn\'t use it, it\'s the more problematic OS i ever tested, and i386 folder from winXP cd.
to make the cd bootable you can use your bootable floppy and when burning the disc choose the option to make it bootable with your floppy disc.
good luck

Your in for the long haul.  Use the XP and ME/9X page at my site to setup the iso.  You can combain each to create the multi-boot CD.  However you first iso file will be more than 700MB for sure.  You will have to \"trim the fat\" from each OS.  Remove any extra folders that you will not need.  I remember getting 98 down to about 70MB\'s but XP is pretty big.  300MB? I think.  I never use ME anymore so I don\'t remember how big it gets.  Based on a recent stream of emails I will try to list the fat that can be taken out of 2000 and XP.  I will try and find a ME and 98 disk and post the same info for them soon.

Hope this helps,
