Linux – boot a Live CD by mounting an ISO

bootiso-imagekali-linuxlivecd

I've just downloaded the Kali Linux (1.0.7) ISO and I was wondering if I can boot a Live CD by mounting an ISO to a virtual drive.

Can I boot it?

No you can't do that, you need to burn ISO either on USB/External hard disk/DVD/CD to mount while booting. Because if you do that by mounting, Once it is restarted your reference to mounted drive will not be there. Though, you can use ISO to install OS inside virtual machine.

I'll recommend you to use VirtualBox/VMWare Player to run live CD on virtual machine.
