Or a way to boot an iso from grub ? If it's the second question, I made this page for the ubuntu doc in French : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tutoriel/grub2_lancer_des_images_iso#versions_karmic With an entry for Ubuntu (for an iso located in an iso folder on /dev/sda5) like that : menuentry "ISO Live - Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic AMD64" { insmod loopback insmod iso9660 set isofile="/iso/lucid-desktop-amd64.iso" loopback loop (hd0,5)$isofile linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz locale=de_DE bootkbd=de console-setup/layoutcode=de iso-scan/filename=$isofile boot=casper file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed noprompt quiet splash -- initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz } Just change the line "set isofile=" to your version of ubuntu iso.
