Boot File ISO Langsung dari GRUB2

Tujuan: booting CD installer atau LIVE CD GNU/LINUX tanpa harus membakar ke CD atau flashdisk.</p>

Bahan2 percobaan:
1. File ISO Puppy Linux,
2. GRUB2 yang sudah terinstal (Saya pake GRUB2 di Ubuntu Lucid).

Langkah-langkah:

1. buka /etc/grub.d/40_custom (sebagai root)
2. Masukkan menu entry puppy, kita misalkan file .iso puppy ada di partisi sda6, di folder Gukguk, ini contohnya:

#!/bin/sh
echo “add entry” >&2

exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the ‘exec tail’ line above.

cat << EOF
