BOOTING FROM ISO IMAGE

If you want to boot this CD on a computer without a CD-ROM drive, follow the steps below.

Store the ISO image of this CD as a file on a partition formatted with one of the following filesystems: vfat, ntfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, jfs, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs

Copy the boot/isolinux/{linux,initramfs_data.cpio.gz} files from the CD to your hard disk

Configure the boot loader to load "linux" as a kernel image and "initramfs_data.cpio.gz" as an initrd. The following parameters have to be passed to the kernel:

rw root=iso:/dev/XXX:/path/to/lfslivecd.iso rootfstype=fs_type

where /dev/XXX is a partition where you stored the LiveCD image, and fs_type is the type of the filesystem on that partition. You may also want to add "rootflags=…" option if mounting this partition requires special flags.

If there is only Windows on the target computer, please use grub4dos as a boot loader. It is available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/grub4dos.
