Hi :)

Are we talking about a bootloader that can be used inside a customised Cd? Could 
grub2 be installed to hard-drive and dynamically include a menu item for LiveCd 
if it found an Ubuntu or other distros CD in the cd/dvd-drive?  I am not sure 
the complexity would be worth it?  If it could be done in some simple way then 
could it also boot iso files found in a specific location?  Again i am more 
curious about people's thoughts rather than thinking we really need this level 
of functionality.

Regards from
Tom :)

Hello, GRUB developers!

I'm fighting to replace isolinux with GRUB2 in the Live System I'm
about to release. I already got the CD to boot with GRUB2, generating
the ISO with grub-mkrescue. I think there must be some smarter way to
do this, but I can't find out.

But due to some features I need (not the eyecandy), I noticed the CD
only boots without gfx support (which is the most important for me).

I already tried using --modules="linux ext2 fshelp ls boot pc coreui vbe
png jpeg gettext gfxmode" without any success. Tried some burg-mkisofs
and xorriso commands, but I believe I miss something. Typing
`configfile /grub.cfg' won't help either.

Your help will be very appreciated, for we've been struggling for not
a few hours!
