    Oh yes, great suggestion! I should have thought of just downloading
    an installer and booting it from existing install's grub.


    I was hoping I could somehow tell grub to run an installer's ISO image.
    I think the posted links will lead me adequately.

    In the phrase "to boot the installer using grub stanza (or manually)",
    just what does "(or manually)" refer to?

    Thanks.
