Hi all,
I wrote a script (attached) to put in /etc/grub.d for automatically
adding live CD iso images from /boot/iso to /boot/grub/grub.cfg
A typical entry looks like this:
menuentry "Live CD ubuntu-9.10-beta-dvd-i386.iso" {
loopback loop (hd0,1)/boot/iso/ubuntu-9.10-beta-dvd-i386.iso
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper
iso-scan/filename=/boot/iso/ubuntu-9.10-beta-dvd-i386.iso
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}
I have a couple of questions:
* the script uses convert_system_path_to_grub_path() to construct the
loopback path. This function is deprecated... is there a better way
to do this?
* how should this be distributed? Is this something that should be
distributed with grub, or added down-stream by distribution
maintainers? My feeling is that it should be distributed by grub
directly, to foster compatibility between live CDs. That is, it
should be possible to test out a SUSE live CD when running Ubuntu.
Cheers,
Andrew
