Hi all
The boot approach seems universal enough to cover both non Xorg
systems and Xorg systems this is why I proposed it in the first place.
What are other people thoughts on this issue?
For the same reasons we (Lernstick distribution, see here
http://www.imedias.ch/lernstick) developed xmlboot, a gfxboot script
that supports what you want and much, much more.
I just uploaded an intro video to youtube. See here:

Hi Ronny,
Your video has impressed me.
I personally do not like your approach for Debian Live because it
seems too away from upstream syslinux.
First you have to use the gfxboot com32 module which I'm not sure it
will maintained upstream even if Ubuntu uses it and then your custom
xmlboot.
I personally do not like gfxboot (although I must admit that I have
not used since 10 years ago or so) because you have to manually build a
binary "messsage" file. Not all the resolutions are supported. And
finally once you've got the final result it was not very easy (meaning
being able to edit text files) to edit it.
Maybe your xmlboot script provides what gfxboot is lacking for its
configuration, that is, being able to save it into a SCM or DVCS.
I repeat that I am impressed and I don't discard it but it sounds as
being too over complex as per taking a quick look at:
https://github.com/imedias/xmlboot and its examples. I mean complex as
how many files and configuration files one should be editing in order to
take full advantage of it in live-build package.
Do you have some sort of live-build package patch that enables it so
that we can take a look at it? Or maybe two different commits in your
git repository which we can compare manually?
Thank you.
