[syslinux] syslinux and booting CD's

[jason]

just to verify (before I burn more coasters), it it not working because
of file location.
I MUST have the isolinux files and kernel and config in a dir
called isolinux off my /home/jason/mp3 ??
which would be /home/jason/mp3/isolinux

I originally did that but the cd didnt work. With that being said, should
my isolinux.cfg file need to reflect that directory?
i.e. use
 label linux-jason
        kernel /isolinux/vmlinuz


regards,
Jason
