I mean by copying the ISO file to the hard disk.
abstracting the isolinux directory,
and adding an approriate grub stanza to boot from this?
livecd-iso-to-disk (part of the livecd-tools package) was designed to do
this
with USB drives, but it should work for an IDE/SATA/SCSI drive as well.
That said, what you probably want is to find a USB stick that's at least 1
GB, and put it on that.
Actually, I already tried that, but this particular machine -
I think it is about 8 years old - did not seem to support USB booting.
I'll try using livecd-iso-to-disk to install on a new partition.
Not quite sure how I'll boot from it, though.
Will it be sufficient to make the new partition active?
I think it will suffice to make it the only partition marked bootable in fdisk.
It'll need to be a primary partition, not an extended partition. It really
depends on your BIOS though, if you're not chainloading from the bootloader on
the MBR.
