To my knowledge, "HowTo" do this was never published by him.
Is there a chance that someone (s) could
- show us how to do build an ISO that's using GRUB2 on the Live media to boot Puppy?
- show us how to boot an Puppy ISO file that one has on a HDD using GRUB2?
Thanks in advance for any guidance on these 2 separate items.
Hi gc
25 April you wrote this "successful launch of booting any ISO from a menu.lst"
Some iso:s can be booted from grub4dos but not everyone. Those that are grub2 seems to need grub2 to boot the iso?
Unless you are on an USB and use mapping which mimic CDROM booting if I get it.
If one have grub2 that would most likely boot many more isos even on NTFS HDD.
I have only tested to boot Ubuntu, Peppermint and some others.
This question

has not been done yet. And none seems to see any usage of it. The Puppy community seems to say No to that one.
The second part of your question
that one has on a HDD using GRUB2
That seems to get accomplished if one install one of those many many Linux distros that make use of grub2 but then one need to know how to do that without destroying the Windows install one already have unless one have ditched that one.
A compromise would be to install a grub2 distro to a USB and that way boot up any iso on the hdd.
I nagged so much that rcrsn51 did a one time offer to make such a one and it was based on what Lance did for Pendrivelinux but rcrsn51 adjusted it to work on Puppy but it has some limitations but I did boot some three or four isos with it. But it is way above my ability to give good advices on it.
But I do give my grub2 code in that thread as examples.
but it would most likely not be proper to give them here.
We could continues in that thread or using PM
