If you want to use grub to directly boot off cd, you apparently need a recent build no farther back than 8/8/2006.  Of course if you already have an older one installed, you could use that to boot some bootfloppy image instead.

Or you could try sbm (smart boot manager), etc.

This might help:

Thanks, but looking  little bit late this anwers. I just booted to DSL. I found from installing-GRUB what to put c:/menu.lst after installing grub to /mbr in windowsME. Just:

Title DSL
       root (hd0,0)
       kernel /boot/isolinux/linux24 root=/dev/hda1
       initrd /boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz
       makeactive
       boot
 
and /boot / and KNOPPIX copies from cd to c:.
Just need to install Gparted or something to continue..

Ah yea.. forgot DSL/knoppix looks on available hd/cd for the first instance of the os image regardless where the kernel originally booted from.
