Hi

I copied the centos 5.2 x86_64 DVD to a USB pen drive formatted for FAT32.
I then ran syslinux -sf /dev/sdc1 to get it to boot. I mounted it, and did
cp isolinux/vmlinuz .
cp isolinux/isolinux.cfg syslinux.cfg
the setup the  MBR.

THe device booted but I got an error message about unknown command in 
the syslinux.cfg file.

Isnt syslinux and isolinux compatible - they are in the same package?
All these commands below look correct.

Did I do something wrong trying to get a USB pen drive to boot to 
install linux from.
