Hi I would like to start a iso from my USB-Pendrive so I got a Hiren BootCD amd PartedMagic iso + GRUB 2 (1.98~20100115-1) on my USB-Pendrive. My problem it take up to 30sec until the ISO is booted my menu entry: linux16 /memdisk iso initrd16 /boot/iso/pmagic.iso Thanks for any hints M.

You could look into PLoP, which has been used by some folks to increase the USB transfer speed, then they return to Syslinux to take advantage of it while loading something else (such as your .ISO). Gert Hulselmans might have some specifics. How big is your .ISO actually and how long would you expect it to take? How long does it take to copy from the USB pen-drive to the computer's HDD on the same computer normally? - Shao Miller
