Hi,
Does the " (loader)" suffix on (eg.) Grub menu options really mean
anything? If not, I think it looks much nicer with these suffixes
removed.
(Indeed, the current situation is actually somewhat misleading to the
average user - Linux menu entries don't have these prefixes, encouraging
an end-user to think that they do something other than, well, load/boot
Linux. Especially in a bootloader..)
If the suffix does have some significant meaning, feel free to close
this bug. Patch attached for clarity.
Regards,
