[SoaS] SoaS Digest, Vol 16, Issue 5

[Kevin Gordon]

If you're using LiveUSB creator in Windows 32 bit, there is earlier
documentation in the SoaS archive on thes SYSLINUX issue.

I have today upgraded from 4.02 to 4.03, and can confirm that those
instructions still work for this newer version.  To recap

The direct link to the SYSLINUX  file directory  is
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/

You'll want to choose the 4.03 .zip file to download, then expand it, then
drlll down to the win32 directory of the expanded archive, and grab the
syslinux.exe file.

Copy it into the LiveUSB Creator\Tools directory over the older version that
exists there.  Recreate your Live USB stick.

As I said, therest of the instructions are the same as the earlier posts.
