[syslinux] Syslinux + USB + PE 2.0

[Matthew Holevinski]

I've actually just distributed my vista bootsector file i made on my
usb stick the datatraveler 8gb
and had another fella install everything onto his sandisk 2gb, and it
worked just fine, so I don't think
my setup is thumbdrive specific. If so I haven't encountered one it
hasn't worked on yet.
