[X-Unix] booting iso's

[Long, Jason]

Indeed you may be smoking crack... I don't think that's possible because
once you reboot or turn off the Mac after mounting a ISO of some sort of
installation and it prompts for rebooting then you do that I think it
clears the cache and everything out to get ready to boot off the CD...
But in fact the ISO is mounted is lost as you reboot so it has nothing
to build or mount once it reboots, but indeed it would be nice if you
could boot off ISOs  Where you hear that?? I wonder if it is really
possible.... any one ever done this before???

Ok, I could be smoking crack, but I believe that I read somewhere that
it is
possible to boot from an iso without writing it to a cd. Is this
possible?
