You can also create a Grub2 bootable usb which launches ISO. |
| 2 |
this is always useful to have. |
| 3 |
for a while now Gentoo has supported being launched this way. |
| 4 |
you need the following in your grub2 cfg |
| 5 |
the crucial part is the /iso/install-amd64-minimal-20110714.iso (yeah |
| 6 |
i know is an old iso but this also shows how long it has worked) |
| 7 |
this needs to be a real path on the usb stick |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
menuentry "Gentoo Linux minimal install" { |
| 10 |
loopback loop /iso/install-amd64-minimal-20110714.iso |
| 11 |
linux (loop)/isolinux/gentoo root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc dokeymap |
| 12 |
looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot initrd=gentoo.igz |
| 13 |
isoboot=/iso/install-amd64-minimal-20110714.iso |
| 14 |
initrd (loop)/isolinux/gentoo.igz |
| 15 |
} |
| 16 |

Until i got my Zalman VE300 i was using this to boot emergency repair disks |
| 18 |
is a lot handier having one usb with many iso than a seperate usb stick |
| 19 |
for each distro |
