Hi there,
How can I Boot an ISO Image like WHAX ?
I mean how can i add it to my GRUB Boot Loader so that I do not need to burn the ISO image and keep it in drive through run time .
please help
Thanx

I doubt you can boot an ISO image. You could use the image without burning it, but you won't be able to boot from it, as decompressing an ISO image is far too complex for grub (or any boot loader that sits on the 512 first byte only). However there may be some special application to do this, but I don't know any.
What's google saying about it?

You would need something that would create a virtual drive cdrom or harddisc with the isos files on it as they would be seen if they were installed on the drive.
