Yeah, unfortunately this Boot Options tools was not designed for the Live environment, it was designed for changing the settings for the installed system, then I extended it to work in Live environment to change the options of the installed system (using chroot) not for setting up the Live environment options -- that was not a priority.

I will have to think how to handle that and actually to understand better how Live environment differs from the installed -- Live environment can actually use 2 ways to boot: GRUB or syslinux, I wonder if you use that "Switch to Grub Bootloader" if it actually works -- I didn't specifically tested in Live but GRUB might work. Please let me know...

Perfect, thanks, so GRUB works, I guess I will have to test for LIve and change syslinux option too.
