Hi!
My laptop can't boot from cdrom becouse it is broken and it can't boot from USB becouse it has never been able. Ubuntu 8.10 now run in my laptop with grub 1.
I've just try the following trick.
1) I put grub4dos in /boot
2) I put iso image in /boot
3) I add the follwing entrt in source.list
# =========== GRUB4GOS ===================================
title == Use grub4dos for the following entries: ==
title 1: Reload this menu using grub4dos to enable booting the next entries
kernel /boot/grub.exe
title 2: boot Ubuntu live
map --mem /boot/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso (hd32)
map --hook
chainloader (hd32)
It seem fine but ... it falls. An eror message says thath the system is not able to load the file system from live cd.
If someone had the patient to try my solution and give me an usefull suggestion I will thank you!
