Please correct when I am wrong.Grml loads any iso placed in the /boot/grml directory. It modifies the grub2 menu, adding a listing for whatever iso you put in there and Grub2 will load it.grml-rescueboot will modify the grub menu with a listing for the ISO but will not boot it unless the image contains a loopback.cfg file in its /boot/grub. This rules out many (if not most) popular distributions. Which ISO are you using?
ElementaryOS...seems like a Gnome-based distro from what I've been able to gather but it replaces a lot of Gnome stuff with its own applications written in Vala (sp).
Yes that's the conclusion I've reached but how to do it is the problem. For me this started as a way to try the distro without booting from a CD but now it has stoked my curiosity about ISOs in general.It's handy for that...but as I found out, unless there is a way to increase the file size of the iso, you can have problems :)I'm inclined to think increasing size of an ISO is not possible. Having it access space outside the image is.
