13 Thanks, but I don't know if there is a way to point grub legacy to a
14 particular partition, other than boot, to select an ISO from it. My /boot
15 partition is not large enough for a LiveDVD ISO file. Plus, I'm not sure that
16 GRUB legacy can mount an ISO as a loopback device.

18 When I tried:
19 ================================================
20 root (hd0,10)
21 makeactive
22 chainloader /KNOPPIX_V7.0.5DVD-2012-12-21-EN.iso
23 ================================================
24
25 I got: Error 12, no suitable device found (or similar).
