Title:
  convenient support for live CDs images in /boot

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub

  I'm not sure where to send this... this is a patch to add live CDs in
  /boot to the grub boot menu.  I think this patch is important to the
  Ubuntu community, because it makes it easy to test new Ubuntu
  versions, and hence  report bugs.

  To use this patch, put the attached file, called "50_casper" in
  /etc/grub.d

  Then, you can use it to boot of ISO images in /boot as follows:
   * save the ISO image in /boot
   * run "sudo update-grub"
   * the ISO image will now be in your boot menu... you can select it to boot from it.
