Hi all,
Did you know if it is possible to boot a CD from a directory?
I found a application named FakeCD to perform this with Windows. I am looking for something similar on Linux?
Sincerely,
From googling, I now know this about FakeCD:
fakecd is a program that simulates a CD-ROM drive with a
directory of a hard drive. Its intended purpose is to allow
running of CD-based software entirely from a hard drive.
In linux, this is easy to do without software. It can be done with simple commands from a terminal. A simple how to here:

Note: This may already be obvious to you, but if the CD contains windows software, you will still need to use wine to execute any exe files.
