So did I :-)

It's a good start isn't it?

Sorry I don't know anything about "K" or "6" or even "-2" ;-)
Bu! You might try that CD on any other machine to get out if it works.
When "grub"  starts ignoring that pretty nice CD I  tend to think
that this K6-2 doesn't want to boot from CD anyway. Can you tell
if it's possible to change the priority?
I am quite familiar to LILO, not so much to grub. Sorry.

Maybe?

That CD could be mounted just as any other CD on a running 
operating system like yours. You may try that:

mount /mnt/12/lfslivecd-x86-6.1-1.iso /mnt/CD -o loop

Or anything like that.

I am not sure, but making a bootable CD with that *iso is absolutly 
simple ;-) 

Kind regards
