Is it possible to use Easyboot to make a menu where you can choose to boot to say, two different mini linux distros? Like say for example, DamnSmallLinux and Morphix?

Sure. Most mini-linux can be put into one 2.88MB floppy, you can boot them by 'run xxx.img' command.

The boot loader for linux is always 1.44MB large, other files are used form your CD-ROM directly when the OS is loaded.

Ok, so I put the boot.img files from the various linux distros in the ezboot dir. Question is, how do those boot.img's know where to look for the OS files? In the root dir., or where?

Those things are already programmed by Linux people and EZB is nothing different... Basically it grabs the bootable image which were present in Original CD and give you option to start the image in your own way  (with Menus and some cool smooth Mouse, Buttons etc etc)

Oh yeah... Try to search IsoBuster at google.com and insert that original cd of yourz... you might be surprised about hidden files you did not discover in ye Linux CD

I need some expert help please.
I extracted the boot image of the Trinity Linux ISO.
Boot image in ezboot dir. Rest of ISO files extracted to disk1 directory (cd root).
When I boot the original ISO the first text that is displayed is "LILO"...
With my easyboot ISO I only get a hanging PC (VM) after "L" is displayed.
Tried the following commands:
run tr.img (extracted with isobuster)
run tr.bin (extracted with bbie - Bart Boot Image Extractor)
Any suggestions?
