My thoughts exactly, tuxracer. It's why I made the suggestion (post 7 of th= is thread) for a wiki page showing grub.cfg entries using loopback for each= individual distro. It would be incumbent upon the distro maintainers to te= st and submit the proper loopback menu entry, since they are the ones maint= aining the distro (did someone say concrete proposals?) >> There is no sane way to use isolinux cfg from iso simply because it's no= t designed to handle iso scenario, only real CD one. I'm happy to have that cleared up... >> If you use loopback.cfg as intended it will all work. loopback.cfg contains the linux/initrd entries relevant to each distro's is= o (or at least that's what the wiki page shows). That's exactly the problem= - each iso has different settings for linux/initrd entries, and if you get= them wrong, it really does not matter what file the entry was placed in. Also as confirmed by ben, it's apparently not going to work on a number of = Debian-based iso's. Usually the solution is to include casper in the CD to = make this happen AFAIK. May I suggest one more thing? I have "mail delivery" turned off for this li= st, and I must remember to check the mail-list web page in order to follow = my threads. A solution would be to use nabble, where one can mark the threa= ds to be followed. Posts to those threads will then be automatically delive= red via email. There's about a half hour delay between a mail list and deli= very to nabble, but it's better than a delay of several days. Regards.
