Re: Boot/Install from iso file
Isn't there anyone that tried to do that? :-)
Taking into account that Fedora is a distro that is always searching to be
on the cutting edge: Don't you think that is somewhat annoying and a thing
of the past to install from a usb stick (and not to mention from CD)?
It could be nice to download the Fedora ISO to local drive and to install
from it in a straightforward fashion... and to rely on some grub alchemy,
It could be nice that you could tell the installer where do you have the
iso file and install using it..
Yes I know, it sounds crazy, but sometimes nice things are born so...

Boot/Install from iso file
Hi!
I have the following /etc/grub.d/40_custom file:
#!/usr/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type
the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry "Start Fedora-KDE-Live 33" --class fedora {
set isofile="/Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-33-1.2.iso"
loopback loop (lvm/fedora-home)/sergio/Descargas/Distros$isofile
linuxefi (loop)/isolinux/vmlinuz iso-scan/filename=${isofile}
root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-KDE-Live-33-1-2 rd.live.image
initrdefi (loop)/isolinux/initrd.img
}
EOF
I have used that configuration a few years ago, but now it does not work.
If I choose that grub entry the screen goes black and I have to reboot. Is
there something wrong in my custom file?
Thanks in advance!
