Hi, sorry for the delay in following up :(

This is a great idea and assuming that debian-cd would get support for loopback.cfg too (see #759744) this would be another perfect match. So yes, I definitely appreciate seeing grml-rescueboot getting opened for other distributions/derivatives. Any objections against keeping grub-loopback-iso at the same place (git.grml.org + https://github.com/grml/grml-rescueboot)? Disclaimer: I haven't had the time yet to give it a real-life test, but I'm definitely planning to do so. :) Thanks! regards, -mika-
