I was looking for a way to boot directly the iso fi= le=20 itself. It seems that the solution for some ISOs with which memdisk won't= =20 work, is to use GRUB 2. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart2081934.TBTW0ELbyl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAABAgAGBQJRmjtpAAoJELAdA+zwE4Yeq0AIAMiOlnA0GbKJOFWIHbgFSCa6 mDg3kZEj2cDTf1u1Dyxi9V1g4KvJg1dIQ97Df2hGoRetX7ie0dsVpeJyQvLQM5SV iLUVoerCGa8iCYWEy57nQYdPArzN9u+cgZ0tX3Wge9zNIXYxJ+wgZHoR6IGgHoUT wozS4LtCTeycN0Oocnmm9H4TBHnZPPFEuO9VQf7PlnFW8cBzosiRJCsOGGOSETJu ZO2EEReERPyZ2UR8m2ZEfM/jmntmA3KgNcG/4f++IGo9QgIvpjRAAEKH02t2c6l4 TOMVNRbgZZ8DXqZ2wAvYk5qwWVlcxaGHlPNS0apIjGzGOxa7RjgXaf7OxTZoEdY= =oEmh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2081934.TBTW0ELbyl--
