This will not help you boot from CD - it will help you install from ISOs
on your local disk (or elsewhere) by booting the installer with GRUB!

Hi,

I just got chance to try your suggestions today.  I still could not
boot from CD-ROM with ISO boot CD, I did not try to copy all ISO CDs
to hard disk.

But boot from grub works!

Thanks for everyone's suggestion and help!
