There is a FAR easier way to deal with multi-boot USB sticks today.
Go look up Ventoy (www.ventoy.net). It boots with a huge range of hardware
and BIOS/UEFI, and there is a native Linux and Livecd download available
(as well as Windows, but we won't mention that here.)
Basic setup is:
o Run Ventoy against the USB stick.
o Drop an ISO on the resultant partition.
o Boot. You'll get a menu to select which ISO to boot.
It will boot and present a menu of all the .ISO files on the stick. You
can create a directory structure to help you keep track of what they
are and do--I tested with one two levels deep, and see no reason it
won't work for deeper--and it found them all. The menu won't reflect
the structure, however.
If you want to get fancier, you can use the "non-destructive" option. It's
a bit more complicated, but not much, and you can use the stick both for
single or multi-boot AND data storage. This keeps you from feeling like
you're wasting that 64GB USB stick. I only did this on a Win box, so can't
vouch for the steps on Linux.
Anyway, life got a lot easier. I now have a couple of 64GB multiboot
sticks that have a bunch of Forensic, Security, Recovery, and LiveCD
images available on my keychain and in my laptop bag.
