  The install/netinstall ISOs have grub2 as the boot loader, but 
strangely the live ISOs use isolinux which requires grub commands.

  I've booted the 8.6 live ISO by using the following grub2 commands 
(after extracting them from a maze of nested isolinux cfg files):

   linux /live/vmlinuz boot=live components
   initrd /live/initrd.img
   boot

  This will drop to a login prompt, with an account/passwd of user/live

later,

Peter.
