Also bear in mind the allowable filename rules for the variant in use.
 SYSLINUX will only ever see the 8.3 DOS names on FAT file systems
(characters of a-z, 0-9, and "_"; a-z are stored as A-Z but displayed
as a-z).  ISOLINUX will normally see an 8.3 format name unless you've
enabled certain options on your ISO creator that sometimes breaks DOS
clients.  EXTLINUX on an ext2/3/4/btrfs and PXELINUX should not have
this restriction.
