Fedora

Install from live cd without burning it to cd:-

  1. Mount downloaded iso.

  2. Copy all content in the iso to the root of the device that need to be booted.

  3. Change all reference in /EFI/boot/grub.conf and syslinux.cfg to point root device to the UUID of the partition that we want to boot. Use blkid to get UUID.

  4. Add entry to /boot/grub/menu.lst and point the kernel and initrd to /EFI/boot/vmlinuz0 and /EFI/boot/initrd0.img. Root device to pass is the UUID of the partition we want to boot.

Notes:-

  • If the boot device is home partition, make sure to copy iso content to the root of the partition, not to /home/userdir or something.

  • Need to use UUID for root device, otherwise would get error `/dev/sdaX already mounted'.
