[Fedora-livecd-list] [PATCH] small fix for --multi mode

[Jason Farrell]

One other tiny patch for the mostly unused "--multi" mode. The
"initrd=" in isolinux.cfg wasn't getting replaced, and, it's easier if
the $LIVEOS/$SYSLINUXPATH paths are absolute when editing the "main"
/syslinux/syslinux.cfg or /syslinux/extlinux.conf menu entries to add
them for multibooting.

I had a larger ambition for expanding upon the "--multi" mode
creation, but I read in an earlier message that the livecd-iso-to-disk
script is eventually going to be phased out in favor of a better CLI
interface on the python liveusb-creator. So, looking forward to seeing
live image + *installer image* multiboot creator capability soon, as
it currently takes a bit too much manual syslinux hackery to do it.
Fedora Ambassadors, and many others, could definitely use an easier
way to create a multi-image bootable usbkey. 8GB+ keys are only around
$20 these days...
