Can GRUB boot an ISO CD image? - China DOS Union Forum - China DOS Union

Can GRUB boot an ISO CD image?
If it can, that would be great.
Thanks!

It's a pity that it doesn't seem possible for the time being, and it's said that it's not meaningful either.

That's really a pity, but my computer doesn't have a floppy and CD-ROM.
If Grub can boot ISO, then I can use it to boot Linux live cd.
Is there a way for me to boot Linux live cd in my situation?
Thanks

I'm not very familiar with Linux, let alone Linux live CD. You can try to transfer the Linux live CD to the hard disk and then make a hard disk image file, so that you can boot through grub.

So that means GRUB can boot a hard disk image, right? But how to make a hard disk image? Are there any relevant documents? Thanks in advance.

The Chinese article about GRUB can be found on the following (which I collected and made) webpage:

http://grub.linuxeden.com/

Can't access http://grub.linuxeden.com/ and http://grub.linuxeden.com/wakka.php, can you help? Thanks

Well, I can't access http://grub.linuxeden.com/ or http://grub.linuxeden.com/wakka.php here either, tried several times with the same result. Regarding the issue of booting an ISO disc image with GRUB, you can find related discussions in the old posts of this section.

Why couldn't I post a thread under IE just now? Only when entering Linux could I post? When posting under IE, it always prompts that I'm not logged in and have no permission.

I'll post the web content here. It's really strange. So many people can't access? Is there a problem with domain name resolution? By the way, the home page domain name of the wengier forum (dosbbs.2ya.com), I can't access it through Linux anymore, only through IE. It seems that someone is preventing us from communicating with each other.

But accessing with IE doesn't allow posting, and there are really many problems. (Cookies have been enabled).

I'm posting with MyIE2 now. Let's test if the post is normal. If the redirect domain dosbbs.2ya.com can't be accessed, you can try a new domain of the forum: bbs.cn-dos.net, which should be easier to remember. I've started college these days, so I'm busy again and have much less time to surf the Internet.

Can access, but can't find the method to boot the CD ISO image with GRUB. Can all the great guys help? Thanks

As climbing has already made it clear, as for the current situation of CDROM-related issues, it's not very likely to perfectly implement booting ISO files. The detailed discussion on this issue can be found in this forum. Just that articles related to booting hard disk IMG can be found.

Thanks, may I ask what is a hard disk IMG and what is the difference between it and ISO?
