Re:[coLinux-devel] How can we CD boot ?

[Régis N. <rn...@ho...>]

You're right , that's not what I want.
What I want is a way to install a distro within colinux, the distro 
installation disc in my cdrom.
In other words: how to launch the image of a bootable cdrom, and install it 
using the deamon ?
I guess the method would work with isos too.
