Selected liveCD menu option can't be determined #99

[update 2026]
As of the replacement of di-live with tkl-installer and an updated ISO build process this issue needs to be revisited. Assuming that it is still relevant, it should be addressed while updating the ISO build process when implementing ISO UEFI boot support (a component of #2109).

Note that this issue has been re-targetted to the 19.1 milestone as that is the intended implementation timeframe - but is possible that it may not make in to v19.1.


I downloaded the ISO for the Wordpress appliance, burned it to a DVD and booted it and arrived at the expected menu with its two options: the first one, for installing the appliance onto the local hard drive and the second one to run the appliance in "liveCD" mode. At this point I'm a bit confused because there are only two options and I have no way of knowing which one is set as the "default". The top line is displayed in yellow text and the bottom one in white text, but which is considered the "selected" line? With only two lines, I can't tell. If you don't use a background color to distinguish the selected option then it takes an additional line in the menu to know for sure which line is selected. Could you guys add a third option (like reboot or check memory) to the menu or change the "highlight" color so it's more clear to someone booting for the first time into a turnkey liveCD? This might not lead to an accidental install but it sure is unnerving nonetheless. Thanks!
