  As part of us releasing Rescatux as an isolinux based distro (before 
it was a super grub2 disk (or grub2) based distro) I am supposed to work 
with Debian Live people so that any Debian live cd has a default working 
loopback.cfg file.

  Not sure if I'm going to do it in the next Rescatux stable release 
but definitively is in my TODO list.

  Probably the most intelligent workaround for this problem is doing an 
isolinux.cfg, pxelinux.cfg or syslinux.cfg parser for grub2 in a similar 
way to the menu.lst parser.

  As pxelinux.cfg has now some submenues I'm not sure that would work 
too good. I, personally, don't think it's worth the effort to implement 
such a parser but if you want it so much please implement it.

  I, personally, going to advocate for the loopback.cfg method.
