I forum is never a good place for software development.
Why you do not use https://github.com/siduction/grub2-fll-fromiso for helping us improove that package?

Done! I opened an issue and appended the patch. Hopefully someone will react.

Great! I am impressed. Now eriefisher can try it out the official way.
I was to blind to see the obvious. But as they say:

"If your only tool is a hammer,
 every problem seems to be like a nail."

Thanks for the effort. I haven't tried the latest iteration yet but will in the next few days. Too busy for a retired guy.

You are welcome. Famous last words:

I completely reinstalled version 0.3.13 (the recent version on the siduction server, which towo
so kindly updated) on some virtual machine and tried all my iso images (siduction-, aptosid-, MX-).
They all booted perfectly. In all fairness I also suggested the necessary code changes to the aptosid/FULLSTORY
team on github, but had no response yet. Their version 0.6.1 uses program awk to detect the kernel
parameters with all the awk-ward consequences that implies (no luck for siduction images, e.g.).
So siduction is still ahead with version 0.3.13.

One little thing for all who want to try out additional iso images:  FLL_GRUB2_ISO_LOCATION must be set to
include a possible mountpoint (/mnt/srv/ISO if mounted on /mnt, e.g.) for the iso images. It will be stripped
away by the code. update-grub will only insert the additional menu entries if the images are present or mounted
at the call. I suppose with little changes the code can also handle other ISO's. So feel free to try it out!
