-* implement missing options (--kernel, --initrd, --squashfs, --uninstall)
-* provide --create-partition[s] option
-* provide --verify to check md5sums/sha1sums of files on usb device
-* validate partition schema/layout: is the partition schema ok and the bootable flag set? (--validate)
-* implement logic for storing information about copied files (register every file in a set())
+* if 'grml2usb grml64.iso grml.iso' is invoked there are two identically named boot entries (both "grml")
+* support installation of new ISO[s] additionally to already existing grml ISOs on the usb device
+  -> add "old"/already existing images automatically to bootloader configuration [thx gebi]
+* support installation of "dupes", meaning grml2usb grml_2008.11.iso grml_2009.05.iso
+* write bootloader configuration snippets to boot/releases/<release>/{grub.cfg,syslinux.cfg,...}
+  -> this could simplify live dramatically especially when supporting "already existing" images [thx gebi]
+* support integration of Debian ISOs (like netboot)
+* provide simple output being between default and --quiet [thx gebi], like:
+  # grml2usb iso1 iso2 /dev/sda1
+  installing:
+    iso1.... OK
+    iso2.... FAIL (error)
+  done.
+* provide default entry of all installed ISOs on the top of the bootscreen
+  - done for isolinux
+  - missing in grub
+* implement --kernel option to install specific linux26 file
+* implement --initrd option to install specific initrd file
+* implement --squashfs option to install specific squashfs file
+* implement --verify option to check md5sums/sha1sums of files on usb device
+* implement --uninstall option to remove all grml2usb files in a clean manner
+  -> implement logic for storing information about copied files (register every file in a set())
+* implement --create-partition[s] option to generate a default partition setup
+* implement --validate option to validate partition schema/layout: is the partition schema ok and the bootable flag set?
 * the last line in bootsplash (boot.msg) of syslinux should mention all installed grml flavours
-  (attention, the line should become too long :))
+  (attention, the line should NOT become too long :))
 * code improvements:
-  - improve error handling wherever possible :) => especially disk full, any other known test cases?
   - use 'with open("...", "w") as f: ... f.write("...")'
+  - use class design (like used in https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/browser/liveusb)
+* provide a Windows version (for example via PyQt4)
 * provide unit-testing (any ideas for useful/test-able scenarious?)
 * provide progress bar when copying files
 * provide graphical version; any volunteers? :)
