The msdos7.1 super boot disk doesn't necessarily need a multi-boot menu, actually.
Everyone's system is different, but modifying autoexec.bat is too troublesome, and if you're not careful things will get mixed up.

So could it be changed to this instead: after booting, only keep the memory management programs resident, along with some essential small utilities (such as RAM disk, smartdrv, ctmouse, doskey, ...)

If CD-ROM support is needed, run cdrom.bat, and its contents can be written and modified by the user.
If ntfsdos is needed, run ntfs.bat, same as above.
If some USB driver is needed, the user can also configure it themselves and run the related usb.bat.
If Chinese is needed, use xzl.exe.
If Commander is needed, just run it directly.

Everyone's machine specs and requirements are different.
No wonder these super boot disks end up being made so complicated~

But the key is to learn the methods used in them, and then modify them into something that suits yourself.

It could be like the boot disk creation software over at nu, making it into separate modules. Then everyone could also build plugins for dos71, and then just modify one file, kind of like an inf file ^_^

Speaking of plugins, not bad... that "MS-DOS 7.10 installer" supports plugin functionality too...
