grub2 on livecd
is there a livecd with grub2?
I need an bootable .iso that starts latest version of grub2. (debian and ubuntu livecd use some custom format, they don't have the grub2 menu) |
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not sure grub can work from a CD. It uses very little that cannot be provided by the BIOS to bootstrap itself, and AFAIK, it does not know about ISO-9660 filesystems. That is why ISO-Linux is the de-facto standard bootloader for live CDs.

Grub can boot CDs and has had that capacity for well over a decade. Most distributions use isolinux or syslinux. In Grub Legacy, the stage2_eltorito file was necessary to boot a CD. Grub2 can also but it's a little different. You can copy an iso file to a CD, install Grub2 on it and boot the iso file from the CD. You can also boot systems from a CD with Grub2. The only systems I have used this for were Puppy lupu and SystemrescueCD.

check if that how-to helps:
