Some time back, there was this script that one could use to integrate multiple Linux Live CDs into a single DVD. The site (nautopia.net) that released the same, (unfortunately) however, no longer exists.
Does anyone have any idea how to accomplish this?

Read up on how isolinux works. Most live CDs use isolinux to boot so you can sometimes merge the contents of the isos, edit the isolinux configuration files and create a new iso. One issue you may run into doing this is that lots of live CDs are based on Knoppix and use a file called KNOPPIX as the name of their compressed filesystem, this causes a problems when you try to put two live CD distros which look for the same file into a single iso image, it is possible to work around this by editing the initrd to look for a different file, but that is a bit more complex than just editing the isolinux configuration.
