Whether I use a GRUB2 configuration to boot from the XFCE LiveCD iso
I don't know if anyone ever tweaked fedora live cds to have the required support to boot via grub. I know at one time I read they wouldn't work that way. I do have several livecd images setup to boot from disk, but none of them are fedora.
Here's one that happens to be laying around:
menuentry "Boot Ubuntu 13.04 live cd" { insmod part_gpt insmod ext2 set root='hd1,gpt1' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 83693456-a3ef-4b35-a4bb-e0671367e40e set isofile="/booty/ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso" loopback loop ($root)$isofile linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz.efi boot=casper iso-scan/filename=$isofile noprompt noeject initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz }
(I have no idea if it still works, there may be parts missing after all the time since I last booted it :-). -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@lists.fedoraproject.org [1] Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct [2] Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines [3] Have a question?

ALL Current livecds boot with grub support. Do you perhaps mean boot from hdd (without grub or from grub to the hdd directly ?
If you wish to burn a boot-able Livecd to the disk directly you can either dd the ISO OR use livecd-iso-disk (from the livecd-tools package) like so:
dd option:
hdd=/dev/sdb
sudo dd bs=4M if=~/Downloads/FedoraISO.iso of=/dev/sdb && sync
