Live ISO
by Alessandro on Friday 11/Nov/2005, @16:16

There will be the Live Klax ISO to test it?

If yes, is there a (possibly simple) way to boot an ISO from HD, without burning it to CD/DVD?

Thanks!

The trouble is that my notebook can only read CD/DVDs, but not write them :-(

Vmplayer can do that, if in a non-free way.

There are guide around on how to change the browser-thing to any OS you want, including live cds (I have a knoppix vm image on my disk atm :P)

Check out QEMU. Homepage: http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/
Your distro probably packages it. Start the cdrom with:

qemu -cdrom cd_image_file.iso -boot d

man qemu for more information :)

It seems the Live CD is now available.

What I'm looking for, is a way to boot from an ISO like you boot from a partition with GRUB, Lilo, Smart Boot Manager or others.
Something like LOADLIN could be nice too.

Advantages are:
- you don't have to burn the CD/DVD
- you can use it without a CD/DVD burner and even without a CD/DVD reader!
- reading from HD is much faster than reading from CD or DVD.

Thanks for every answer.
