That is quite a nifty method. It allows not only any Debian image to be booted and operate correctly but also (with a suitable grub stanza) images from many other distributions too. The 'hard disk' can usefully be a USB stick. The reason it works is that loop.ko and iso-scan are available in the kernel/initrd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
