How can I mount an iso and boot from it? Anyone have any idea? I want to mount an iso in the asbestos bash shell.

I'm thinking chroot?
Then go to a grub folder and run grub?

Or what about lilo?

What about kboot.conf? Can I use kboot.conf to do a network install?

What about tftp?

I'd really just prefer to rip an img from a cd and somehow boot from that within asbestos.

Update:

Well, I started following some instructions. TFTP failed to start. Well xinetd failed to start. Even after following the instructions. Damn. Back to the original 10 ubuntu files, hopefully I can install something from scratch onto a flash drive.

Update:
Well, I got TFTP up on Ubuntu finally,
this site helped

I was reading two different dir's on what to put in the /etc/xinet.d/tftp
I guess the protocol and port are important

So now to see if I can tftpboot from asbestos, which according to marcan, was the original intention of asbestos.

Except, 1.5 doesn't have any tftpboot bash command.

I'll figure it out sooner or later.

I might have to use 1.2
