outdated report & no more maintained distro; please send a new one if
that issue still exist (using ubuntu-bug)

ps: this can't be added, per security design ( admin needs to strictly
control the boot process; so no way to let the user booting from
unsecured source)

** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  Allow the user to boot on a live CD/USB stick

Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Not all users know how to modify their BIOS to boot on USB or on a
  Live CD.

  In order to help them, the Live CD add a very useful entry into the
  Windows boot menu.

  Unfortunatly, some have no Windows installed and still don't want to
  fiddle with BIOS. Why not adding entries at the end of the grub menu :

  Boot on the CD
  Boot on USB

  It can be also very helpful when the system is broken for whatever
  reason.
