I've developed a script and suitable grub stanzas to let the user
install several CD-ROM images on a hard drive, and boot from the
CD-ROMs without extracting the kernel or initrd. This gives the user
something of a rescue capability without requiring a CD/DVD or thumb
drive.

The three images I have been working with are recent netinst weekly
builds, a recent Finnix, and the gparted live CD. All three go on their
own partition, in hope that that partition would isolate them from file
system catastrophes.

I think this might make a useful how-to, possibly for the Debian wiki.
Any thoughts on where to contribute it?
