Instead, i want to devote a small partition to the project: i would
like to ideally place just an iso image on the partition, but i guess
it could be larger, but no more than a few G. I would like to then
install from the iso partition to a different, larger partition, on
the same disk. So the target would not be the whole disk, but just
part of it. The nature of the iso partition wouldn't matter too much
to me (although it would be super cool if it could be an iso in a
filesystem of some partition with a real os on it).
