There must either be a bug with the current git version of live-helper, or the correct method has changed. I have also mounted up the ISO image I just made with live-helper-1.0-a37. The file isolinux/boot.txt does not contain an unexpanded variable {$SPLASH}, rather, in its place is "/isolinux/data/splash.rle" which is the location of the splash screen. So, I conclude that live-helper from git has a bug in that the variable {$SPLASH} is not being expanded for some reason. M
