Most keys in the .conf files (like livecd.conf) allow the values to start on the next line, like this: livecd/rcadd: sshd:default And in fact, this used to work for rcadd and rcdel in previous versions of catalyst. But in dev-util/catalyst-1.1.10_pre17 the values for these two keys have to start on the same line or Catalyst prints an error and the values are all ignored.

Unfortunately this fix requires an update to the specfiles. the field separator for rcadd rcdel is now | before it was : this was making catalyst believe it was a new key element. specs will need to be updated eg hostname:boot will become hostname|boot
