What I want to achieve.
I have an external hard drive that I want to use for linux/windows installations. All the images will be located on the hard drive of course.
What I really want is some kind of bootloader where I can choose what distro I want to install.
If I install linux and grub on the external hard drive, can I then put an image in the folder /images/ubuntu.iso and configure grub with the option to start the ubuntu.iso?
Or is it necessary to install linux in the botton or is it possible to only have a bootloader on the hard drive?
If it's not possible to use grub to load images for installation, is there any other tools I can use to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
