[syslinux] Syslinux 4.00-pre32: some issues

[Gert Hulselmans]

I installed SYSLINUX 4.00-pre32 with the extlinux installer (FAT32
partition):
$ sudo ./extlinux/extlinux --install "/media/NANO PRO/"
[sudo] password for gert:
/media/NANO PRO/ is device /dev/sdb1

The update function still doesn't work on FAT32:
$ sudo ./extlinux/extlinux --update "/media/NANO PRO/"
/media/NANO PRO/ is device /dev/sdb1
./extlinux/extlinux: no previous extlinux boot sector found

Booting the drive in qemu:
$ sudo qemu -boot c -hda /dev/sdb

It still can't find the extlinux.conf file:

Dir.c32 now shows the files inside a directory witch start with a . (dot).
