Yes, the second one gave me the hints for where to look for the 
proper boot params.

This seems to work great for Ubuntu 8.04 and derivatives.

Is there something similar for 7.10. I tried kubuntu 7.10 and neither 
"iso-scan" nor "find-iso" result in a boot. Unfortunately, kubuntu 
7.10 does not include fbcon/vesafb in the initrd so I don't have 
console framebuffer output and can't see the errors.

I'm trying kubuntu 7.10 because LinuxMCE is based off that and 
several users want to try LinuxMCE. Can't do the alternate install 
because the text based installer wants to reference "/cdrom" for the 
install payload.
