Boot tinycore iso with grub2

(1/4) > >>

scottcressi:
Is the tc4 iso bootable from grub2?

tc2/3 were bootable but it seems something changed with the contents of the iso, boot entry used to look like this:

menuentry "tc" {
 loopback loop /boot/iso/tc2.3.1.iso
 linux (loop)/boot/bzImage --
 initrd (loop)/boot/tinycore.gz
}

Anything special that needs to be done to boot tc4?

beerstein:
HI: Does this setup work for you? Did you try to make it work?
As far as I know "bzImage" from TCL 3.XX changed to "vmlinuz in TCL 4.XX but there are more
differences in going from grub legacy to grub2
Please check our wiki and google. Otherwise please ask me more detailed questions.

curaga:
You need to use the iso bootcode to find the cde extensions if you boot that way.

(why do people keep trying this? It's an unnecessary layer, emulation, and doesn't even work well half the time... Just install your distros people ;))

beerstein:
some people use multi boot environments and for that they want grub1 or grub2.

Rich:
Hi beerstein
Yes, but you don't need to boot ISOs to create a multi boot environment, that's what partitions are for.
