Please following details.
1. Create iso image from USB which we burned the image to run
as LIVE CD. ( using dd ) : ( Just to check only )
2. Burn the image to Hard Disk ( or to partition )
Any way we can create entry in boot loader to boot the
partitions ? ( I tried various method and still it did not work
)
Please let me know.

Hi Murray,
ha, that's a very valid use case. I plan to talk to the
others about packaging anyway (I know that at least Maitland,
the debian packager, will be there) at GRCon, about providing
nightly packages and such. Personally, I'm still struggling a
bit with Fedora's integrated tools that should make it easy to
rebuild packages whenever someone pushes a change to the
master branch of GNU Radio, but if we can sort that out, you
could install a GNU Radio as recent as `git pull` would give
you, without any risk of breaking anything else, because the
packages would act exactly like the Fedora-own gnuradio
package, only more recent. That would also, for everyone who's
not actively developing GNU Radio's core, solve a lot of the
complications that people use PyBOMBS for.
There's a whole lot of interesting questions that arise from
that – on a project level. For example, while it feels kind of
like an easy decision to make to offer a nightly gnuradio
package if we can, what about popular "infrastructure" OOTs
like, for example, gr-osmosdr? That is actually so popular
that fedora packages themselves, and it would only feel
logical to offer it in a version that works with that nightly
GNU Radio, too. But then we're deep into "ok, now we're
becoming a software distributor" land, because, what's so
different about gr-osmosdr that we shouldn't also be packaging
gr-paint, which, without doubt, is invaluable for any
conference with people selling hardware that displays
waterfall plots?
Why I mention that is the following:
Basically, as soon as you have a distro-compatible repo of
packages, all major distros make it easy to directly install
that; many also make it easy build an installer which installs
the distro, enables that repo, and also installs these
packages. With the liveDVD as we have it now, it's not that
easy, because none of the SDR-related software is installed
from an Ubuntu package repository, but actually built from
source and installed "into the live system". That has a lot of
advantages – being able to be bleeding edge, without becoming
the maintainer for all the OOTs, for example – but easy
conversion to an installed system is not possible at this
point.
Best regards,
Marcus

Thanks for the explanation, I was mistaken about
removing the install option.
My specific situation was that I wanted to test my
project in the latest GnuRadio. This version was
released but not in the Ubuntu repo. I was worried
about breaking my current setup trying to upgrade or
install two instances of GnuRadio. The Live DVD wasn't
a good option for me because is not persistent. I
solved this creating a VirtualBox and installing
GnuRadio after. As you said, it wasn't hard, but it
took me a while to do and I did had some problems with
PyBOMBS (it was my first attempt ;).
It would be nice to have a VirtualBox image that a
new user can import and start using, specially for
Windows users.
Just as a related note, this maybe interesting for
someone that wants to create an iso from a working
system and then install it in a different machine:
Kind Regards,
Murray
