Issue/Bug Description:

In the README.md file in the repo as of now, the table of options in the Usage section doesn't document the --preserve-live-mode option, or its equivalent live_mode configuration in the file.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

Read the README.md file.

Expected behavior:

The option and it's behavior should be documented.

Other Notes:

By the way, the README.md file should be present in the installed Debian package at /usr/share/doc/README.md. Right now its nowhere in the system.

And speaking of files in the installed Debian package, at least in the above-mentioned 3.1.4 version, the sample configuration file is at /etc/default/kernelstub.SAMPLE, not at /etc/kernelstub/SAMPLE as mentioned in the README.md file. It's location at /etc/default is baffling to me, since that is not a place to put sample configuration files. Rather /etc/default is a place to put parameters used by init scripts, which kernelstub, not running at boot, has no use for.

I guess the above paragraphs should be separate bugs, but anyone free to file them.
