Hi,
My question is very basic and may look stupid.

I have downloaded supergrub cd. I have dvd of 4.7 GB. If I create supergrub live dvd, very little space on dvd will be used and rest will go waste. Can I use rest space of dvd to copy other data along with supergrub bootable so that when I want to use supergrub, I will boot from that dvd otherwise I can use it as backkup dvd for other data.

I would recommend not to do that. Adding programs after SuperGRUB can cause it to not operate properly and could mess up your computer in the process. It's made to control the boot order of your OSs so I would leave it alone. If you don't want to use a DVD, you can use a USB pen drive and install SuperGRUB there. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/SGD_Howto_make#How_to_make_a_Super_Grub_Disk_USB.
