 When running:

 {{{
 sudo /run/soas/LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 500
 --home-size-mb 800 --unencrypted-home --format --reset-mbr ~/Downloads
 /Fedora-Live-SoaS-x86_64-21-5.iso /dev/sdb
 }}}

 I got:

   "Could not find mbr.bin (syslinux)"

 The script fails because it searches for file in `/usr/lib/syslinux/`
 while the file is kept in `/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr/`.

 Symlinking fixed the problem.

 I've installed syslinux from a package (`apt-get install syslinux`) so I
 presume this is a problem for everyone trying to create a live usb on
 Ubuntu 14.10
