Anyone? :-/

After much Googling I think it's safe to say I can't just put the iso image
somewhere on a disk and boot from it (although there are teasers of info in
places that this is possible).

So I am now looking at creating a 700Mb partition, un-iso-ing the iso (LOL) into
it and then trying to boot off of it... somehow!

All ideas or links to how-to's welcome! :-)

Thank you

Dan
