I need to create a grub boot CD for a laptop so that I can dual boot FC3 with Windows without touching the laptop drive's MBR.


Use mkbootdisk --iso it's what I use on a machine of mine that takes any MBR changes and reverts them as part of the recovery process. Build the ISO then burn to a CD-RW.

This seems straightforward enough if I hard-code the kernel version to use (in a CD menu.lst), but can I do it in such a way as to make the CD grub read the HD grub.conf so that it'll automatically work after kernel upgrades?

Kernels seem to no longer maintain symlinks in /boot of vxlinuz (etc.) to the latest version, otherwise I'd probably be able to use that.
