Is it possible to boot from an iso on a cloudatcost ssd and install x, y and z
I'm reading this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot specifically:

Going to fire up a Ubuntu 14.04 instance and give this a go, why jump through hoops when I should just be able to install from an iso off the ssd from a grub entry
I'm reading this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot specifically:
Code:
grml-rescueboot
A very simple way of creating a GRUB menuentry for a bootable ISO file is to use grml-rescueboot.
The package does the following:
[LIST]
[*]Creates a /boot/grml folder.
[*]Automatically adds menuentries to the GRUB menu for any ISO files located in the /boot/grml folder. This is accomplished whenever theupdate-grub command is executed.
[*]The created menuentry, when selected, provides submenu options on how to boot the ISO, including the "Try Ubuntu" and "Install" options.
[/LIST]
To use the grml-rescueboot option:
[LIST=1]
[*]Install grml-rescueboot
[LIST]
[*]sudo apt-get install grml-rescueboot
[/LIST]
[*]Place bootable ISO files in the /boot/grml folder.
[LIST]
[*]Since this is a system folder, the operation must be conducted as "root". For example, if the ISO is located in the user's Downloads folder, the command would be:
[LIST]
[*]sudo mv ~/Downloads/<filename.iso> /boot/grml/
[/LIST]
[/LIST]
[*]Update GRUB
[LIST]
[*]sudo update-grub
[/LIST]
