usb stick with installationmedia for several linux distributions?

Hi,
Anyone know a good guide or any tips on how to create a bootable usb stick with a nice menu, like grub or something listing various linux distributions for installation?
put the archboot cd on /arch, fedora on /fedora and ubuntu on /ubuntu and so on...

Archlinux
Fedora
Ubuntu
...

So when booting on the usb stick I can choose which linux distribution I want to install?

This is not a question for General Programming...

Just think of the flash drive as a hard drive and install three distros on it side by side (by install I mean burn the installation media to different partitions) and on the first partition install grub.  There are tons of gides for that.  I haven't done this before, but it should work; you may still want to verify what I said.

This would be an interesting thing to try.

Can you please post on a guide you find if you do find one.
