First of all, thanks for the detailed steps. I have already used this
process (and also a similar process using syslinux) before.
But as you can yourself see, this is not as simple as a one liner like
the dd command I mentioned earlier. That was the reason I asked if the
soon to be released Ubuntu 10.04 iso supports that feature (as already
done by openSUSE 11.2 and Fedora 12)
