No/No.
nice direct answer
is this an answer of a provider doesnt want people mess with custom isos ?
thanks.
Well here's a post from May which talks about installing custom OS for KVMs, if that interests you (I don't think it works for OvZ or Xen)
What you need is KVM.
i googled hard, no chance. i wanted to ask to let if its possible.
but will try this mounting and setting initthing to start from iso when have time
thanks for the answers.
last question, can i boot into recovery ?
What do you man by recovery?
If your using Xen HVM or KVM, you could boot a recovery ISO of some kind...
thanks @SimpleNode
i am digging xen wiki now,
should i mess with grub?
