Mounting ISO

[calcpage at aol.com]

Yup, I just downloaded sage-511-46.iso which is based on Puppy Linux 5.11 and  SAGE 4.6

Where should I put the ISO if I'm not making a new partition. My Linux partition is an install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit Desktop.

Okay, please look inside the sagelive-511-46.iso (sudo mount -o loop  
sagelive-511-46.iso /mnt/iso); can you look into the directories where  
vmlinuz and initrd are located? Please provide their exact names and the  
directory - example /sagelive-511-46.iso/boot/initrd.gz or  
/sagelive-511-46.iso/live/vmlinuz26  Also please check if there are any  
instances of preseed, like /sagelive-511-46.iso/preseed/custom.seed.

I think your menu may look like ....


menuentry "Sage-livecd" {
search --no-floppy --label --set xxxx
loopback loop /home/jorge/sagelive-511-46.iso
linux (loop)/boot/linux26 findiso=/home/jorge/sagelive-511-46.iso   
boot=live  noeject noprompt --
initrd (loop)/boot/initrd.gz
}
