(solved) Start ISOs via Grub -> extlinux -> Grub4DOS
vinnie:
I don't say if it correlated, I have yet to try http://reboot.pro/8258/
P.S. If I understand what SvOlli mean, he's right, it don't work
I was able to start iso ([remaster]) using syslinux, but it start only tinycore without the additional extensions.
It is very bad luck :(
P.P.S. is comical to have replaced the name of a modified version of tinycore with a [remaster] ;D

For what do you need that? Thank you for that

I found memdisk by googling because I understood (wrongly) this would launch an iso like a CDROM: I wanted to start an ISO directly, because by installing for example the files of the partedmagic iso (not the iso) on my CF8GB, a file partedmagicxxx.sfs was not found. So, I was hopping "booting" the iso directly would solve the issue.
I cannot say more about memdisk than reading what is written in the net.

Dont understand... with a boot code?
like APPEND ISO LOOKATISO

More like in iso=/path/to/file.iso, or tce=/path/to/file.iso, but handling this still needs to be implemented. Since you need to modify parts of the core it would be wise to discuss this with Robert first.

Im back.. ;-)....
so, how can I start my ISOs (distros slitaz etc.) from extlinux ?
The ISOs are in the directory /boot/diverse of a CF card
? Should I perhaps put the grldr file (Grub4DOS) and a menu.lst (with all ISOs listed) in this directory.
? And in my extlinux command of this CF card would be
...
label ISO linux menu
menu label ISO linux menu
linux /boot/diverse/grldr
...
The menu.lst structure has an example if I remember in this forum from SvOlli .. but cannot find it (I have to search).
Before I start this, can I have your professional evaluation of this Idea?
Idea summary = starting grub4dos from extlinux for booting ISOs (so far I understood, grub4dos has more functionality than extlinux and can start ISOs, simulating a CDROM)
