David, I've been booting up iso files for quite some time; are you
asking if this can be done?
Answer is yes. Just did that on kubuntu natty beta1 moments ago.

Sorry I was so unclear. The question should have been "If yes, how?"
Generally, googling the question gets a broad variety of answers -- the
most frequent involving using a new partition on the HD to either copy
("burn") the iso into, or extract it. Your earlier post, including your
menuentry, looks most helpful.
Assuming I am working from the GRUB command line, should I set the root
to (loop)? I do see that the Ubuntu LiveCD does contain a
/boot/grub/grub.cfg file. Your post shows the key information about how
to communicate to the kernel where it is to find its files.
