From the source website it seems that they have multiple very similar |

packages, one is for booting isos, one is for booting hard disks, etc, |

Personally I am building a heavierweight distro with a mountable roof |
| 11 |
filesystem which is a real partition. I don't want to use the ram to |
| 12 |
unpack any squashfs images (although perhaps I misunderstood the ram |
| 13 |
requirements of this approach?). I use GRUB because I am familiar with |
| 14 |
it.... |
