Bug#656135: Add findiso boot parametre
Package: live-boot
Version: 3.0~a24-1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
I am trying to loop-mount-and-boot a debian-live-iso from grub2.
Grub2 has loop-mount capabilities so it can do it.
It seems that Grml, a debian live derivative has already this feature and
they name it: findiso.
Some links that might help you:
* About loop-mount-and-boot from grub2:
http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg
* Findiso patch from grml: http://git.grml.org/?p=live-boot-
grml.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/07_support_findiso.patch;hb=HEAD
* Discussion of findiso option and other boot parametres in debian-live mailing
list: http://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2011/07/msg00146.html
My egoist reasons for this feature are:
* I could make a Rescatux + Super Grub2 Disk disk.
* Rescatux iso can be boot from grub2 thus from live pendrives
* I won't have to switch to an ubuntu base for making the live cd.
Making multi debian-live pendrives would be easier than ever and the pendrive
would be nicer. Only one iso file per iso.
Thank you very much!
