The thread starting at http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/12/msg00055.html might help. If you take GRUB's loopback route this stanza should work: menuentry "debian-wheezy-live-b4-i386-xfce-desktop.iso" { loopback loop /boot/isos/debian-wheezy-live-b4-i386-xfce-desktop.iso linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz1 boot=live findiso=/boot/isos/debian-wheezy-live-b4-i386-xfce-desktop.iso config initrd (loop)/live/initrd1.img } The findiso parameter may be replaced by fromiso=/dev/sdc1/boot/isos/debian-wheezy-live-b4-i386-xfce-desktop.iso , bearing in mind that your ISO may or may not be on the /dev/sdc1/ device. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
