Tried following some instructions I found to add livecd's to grub. None of them worked. I may not have found the right tutorial. So, thought I would ask here and see if anyone can point me in the right direction. I can use virtualbox for some things, but there are times when a livecd would work better and I don't want to burn a copy

look hear ,,,,,,, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot
if you cant get it ,,,,,,,,,, post back where the .iso lives in your file system drive,partition,path ,,,,,,, and the type ver. of .iso and we will try to give you a "menu entry" to put in /etc/grub.d/40_custom that should work ....

yes (I think it will go to NTFS /maby),,,,,,but check this out ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I just installed "grml-rescueboot. " it creates a directory /boot/grml . you place the .iso you want (or more) in /boot/grml ,,,,,, runOriginally posted by vsreeser View Postand bam you have a "grml rescue" boot entry in grub that boots the .isoCode:sudo update-grub
neat .
I am running on the 15.04-beta2.iso right now

Backbox and vivid work. Kali did not. They just blinked and went back to grub boot screen. I can install all the kali tool in Kubuntu. Trying to install vivid on a partition I carved outLast edited by vsreeser; Feb 16, 2015, 12:51 AM.Comment

Win7 blew up so tried new things. Tried using bios raid. Wouldn't install with 3 1Tb drives, so I tried 2. Installed, didn't boot. Looked at software raid, decided not to open that can of worms. Going with 1Tb drive for Kubuntu, 1 for Kali, and maybe 15.04 and 1 for storage. Then maybe I'll stop blowing up the computer and actually get something done. Never content with what I have.
