Bug Description

<fabbione> mdz: we need to fix the syslinux .txt files for the DVD. They are
           misleading
<fabbione> and they lack the option for live
<mdz> fabbione: please file a bug so that we don't forget

They also mention CD everywhere.. well we just need to clean them up :)

I've hacked around these in debian-cd, but only the initial boot screen (so that
it mentions the 'live' option), not the other help screens.

There wasn't much detail in this report originally; what is misleading about the text? Does this still apply to current Dapper?

iirc it was s/CD/DVD and the missing boot options. I will have to check again to be sure.

The help files are still pretty hackily done for Dapper DVDs.
