I always add it on my 40_custom file : menuentry "ISO Live - GParted Live" { insmod loopback insmod iso9660 set isofile="/iso/gparted-live-0.5.2-1.iso" loopback loop (hd0,5)$isofile set gfxpayload=800x600x16, 800x600 linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz locale=fr_FR keyb=fr console-setup/layoutcode=fr gl_kbd=fr gl_lang=fr_FR gl_numlk=off gl_batch boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt ip=frommedia toram=filesystem.squashfs findiso=$isofile initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img } There are others examples on this page : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tutoriel/grub2_lancer_des_images_iso You can use the soft here : http://liveusb.info/ to launch one or more iso(s) from an USB key. In short, Grub2 have made a great job yet.. Now to spread it, it depends on linux distributions to implement it in their isos.
