Hello,

I think I'll have to upgrade to the latest grub first in order to
try the loopback.cfg stuff. Last time I tried that it didn't work
with the version on my USB disk.
Apart from that, changing live-media-path to /live/grml64/ didn't
work.
I think I will try to get it to work by using the latest grml2usb
on the latest ISO on another USB disk. If that works, I'll then
use that. Expect that test to happen end of this week.

Ciao,
Thomas
