Don’t think it can be at least from the iso file on a drive/file system. I suppose you could create an install hard drive by copying the iso to the hard drive device (not a partition on the device) But that would destroy all other data on the drive…

Hi
You can boot the iso file from grub.

Yes but will it install from there??

Hi
Yes, so you could have a small partition just a bit bigger than the iso image, then install to other partitions on the disk or another disk in the system.
