If I copy the ISOs to my NTFS partition, I'll need a special version of Grub, yes? And I'm also not guaranteed compatibility - especially older Knoppix-based distros, 2.6 kernels, etc., right? So, would I be better off copying the ISOs to my EXT2 partition? And if so, should I use the existing Grub install I have now? Would grub be able to handle menu selection of multiple ISO images? How do I configure that?Thanks for your help!
