You can also create a Grub2 bootable usb which launches ISO.
this is always useful to have.
for a while now Gentoo has supported being launched this way.
you need the following in your grub2 cfg
the crucial part is the /iso/install-amd64-minimal-20110714.iso (yeah
i know is an old iso but this also shows how long it has worked)
this needs to be a real path on the usb stick
menuentry "Gentoo Linux minimal install" {
loopback loop /iso/install-amd64-minimal-20110714.iso
linux (loop)/isolinux/gentoo root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc dokeymap
looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot initrd=gentoo.igz
isoboot=/iso/install-amd64-minimal-20110714.iso
initrd (loop)/isolinux/gentoo.igz
}
Until i got my Zalman VE300 i was using this to boot emergency repair disks
is a lot handier having one usb with many iso than a seperate usb stick
for each distro
