Moreover we can use iso9660 level 1 naming standard (8.3, restricted alphabet).
This will let us boot from CD's without Rockridge/Joilet (Once I tried
to burn grub in Win and I failed because there was no rr).
here are some proposals
loader_r.mod for rescue mode
loader_n.mod for normal mode
or
loader.mod for rescue mode
loader_n.mod for normal mode
and normal.mod will try to load '_n' variant of each loaded module (and
normal mode insmod will do the same)
I like '_x' because it looks like 'x' variant of module.
PS.: Somebody told me, that M$ has patent about double click.
