📄 Description

Added customizable parameters (see image attached below):

version of k3os to install (defaults to latest, taken directly from github, no update needed for latest version, it will be always latest, using release tags. Specific version can also be defined, for example v0.10.2 or v0.10.1) (see image attached below).
install device (defaults to /dev/sda)
config.yaml url (empty as default): url for the installation yaml (see sample-config )
mirror url (defaults to github releases page): can be modified if you self-host the files (note: the structure must match the same used by github releases page)

A "custom" installation example can be viewed in image below.

A live-boot version of K3OS is also added to live-boot menu (some parameters can be modified before booting).
