Re: Bug in bootloaders with @KERNEL_LIVE@

[donotemailme@xganon.com]

While im at it
config/bootloaders/syslinux_common/live.cfg
does not work, after reading through the code it has to be
config/bootloaders/syslinux_common/live.cfg.in
I also noted that the @<replace>@ is different than the ones used in the 
grub.cfg

For example
live.cfg.in == @INITRD@
grub.cfg    == @INITRD_LIVE@
live.cfg.in == @LINUX@
grub.cfg    == @KERNEL_LIVE@

trying to use the ones from live.cfg.in in the grub.cfg does not work.
