   This sounds similar to what I do. Do you use Grub like this (below) to   
   boot the stick?:   
      
           isofile='/Slackware/slackware-14.2-iso/slackware-14.2-install-   
   d1.iso'   
           loopback loop $isofile   
           linux   (loop)/kernels/hugesmp.s/bzImage   
           initrd  (loop)/isolinux/initrd.img   
      
   Or some other way?  It was a big surprise when I learned how to do it   
   this way.  I wonder if many people know this technique and also if this   
   can be done with other boot loaders?
