Both files exist, among many other *.c32 files in "/isolinux".

I've just tried the same procedure with "syslinux-4.05" (with the  
"official" slackware packet):

copy "<packet>/usr/share/sylinux" over "<CD>/isolinux" (over syslinux  
3.84); burn the CD, boot: all works fine.

Who or what produces the "vesacom_set_background" error message?

I'd prefer working with "vesamenu" instead of pure CLI ...

Viele Gruesse!
