Hi,

this is my syslinux.cfg:

DEFAULT live

LABEL live
        kernel /live/vmlinuz
        append initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=casper username=user 
hostname=debian

PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 0


and the error when trying to boot is in the subject:

"Could not find kernel image: /live/vm.lin"


This is what I did:
- Make an Debian Live CD iso using make-live
- Follow instructions at http://wiki.debian.org/BootUsb for making a bootable 
USB pendrive:
	* Copy all the files in the iso to the pendrive
	* mv isolinux/* .
	* mv isolinux.bin syslinux.bin
	* mv isolinux.cfg syslinux.cfg
	* umount /dev/sda1
	* syslinux /dev/sda1

I have no idea if is it correct to use isolinux.bin as syslinux.bin, could it 
be the problem?

Thank you very much

Eneko
