Hi.
I have had success with a fat32 syslinux partion (/dev/sdc1) booting up
Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 Live CD (renaming isolinux to syslinux, and isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg).
Problem to solve;
Since some distros expect files/folders in their 'root' location, some 'Append' path locations are unchangeable. For example, Ubuntu works great in the 'root' directory, but if you try and move into another folder you cannot point to the 'Append' options...
original isolinux.cfg = append file=preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper
changed isolinux.cfg = append file=/hardy/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=/hardy/casper
So, what is the prefered solution ?
Is it possible to created multiple logical partitions with 1 'boot' primary using syslinux.cfg to boot a chosen partition containing extracted Live CD files ?
Would this be a chain.c32 ?
Thank you
