Two Linux versions on one CD?

Ok so I downloaded Linux onto a live CD and got it working on my computer (It’s Linux Puppy if it matters). I would now like to try out Ubuntu also. However, I don’t want to make another live CD since it would be getting kind of wasteful. Is there anyway to have both Ubuntu and Puppy on the same live CD and choose which one to run on the computer start up. It’s a CD-R so I can’t erase the Linux Puppy. Also don’t worry about CD size. I think I have enough room. Thanks.

Do Linux live Cd’s work well with corrupted windows systems that cannot boot?

I am made to believe that many a times hard disks wont mount and hence one cannot backup the data if windows didn’t shut down properly or cannot start?
is that true?
whats the work around?
Secondly…I always wondered , what can Linux do that windows cannot.
Third: I just cannot get my ppoe connection that requires a user name pswd. to connect to the internet , wired connection that is. The service provider just throws in a LAN cable that plugs into the Ethernet port..and that’s it.
Fourth: I cant get Ubuntu to play my media files: what more should i do?

is there a program for linux thati can get it to check all the windows files because windows wont start up?

i have Slax and it is running off a live CD so it isn’t anything to do with dual boot. i cant get into windows so i cant chkdisk or anything like that
