Does Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook edition support live-media-path?

• I extracted ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso in a folder on hard disk called ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.
• In Grub4DOS menu.lst, I used this piece of code

title ubuntu 10.10-netbook-i386



 kernel /ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386/casper/vmlinuz file=/ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386/preseed/ubuntu-netbook.seed boot=casper ignore_uuid live-media-path=/ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386/casper/



 initrd /ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386/casper/initrd.lz

Yesterday I got cinfused while doing the following:

  initrd /ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386/casper/initrd.lz

When I tried to boot, it stopped with an error saying that it can't find ubuntu-netbook.seed file. It made me belief that this distro does not support live-media-path parameter. But, probably, a few months back I experimented with the same distro & got a success. I know it supports iso-scan/filename. But that's not my point. Can anybody please try out with the distro & report whether it supports live-media-path or not?

Thank u a lot. Your trick worked & helped me find out why I got success a few months ago but not this time.

Actually, I integrated samurai-0.8 web testing framework (Ubuntu based) in my multiboot project. The files from this distro was @ the root of the drive. Among them, .disk folder was also there. Later, I included Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition to the UFD. Since, it got the .disk folder from another Ubuntu based distro, even from a different version, it did not complain. It booted successfully. After that, I removed samurai from the multiboot project alongwith the .disk folder. But, I was ignorant of the fact that the specific folder is required for Ubuntu to start up. Now, I'm working on it again after a long time & founf Ubuntu to be un-bootable. From your previous post, I got the clue & replicated the whole situation once again to come to a conclusion.

In SARDU i use Ubuntu/Kubuntu/UbuntuMRT..

One more update - the UFD prepared as above boots Ubuntu 10.10 successfully as a live OS, but when I tried to install it from the live environment, the first time I couldn't notice any changes after reboot & second & third time the installer crashed while configuring apt repository. But I successfully installed the same from the CD itself. Has anybody faced this problem while tring to install Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition from an UFD created following the above method or using SARDU?
