No, there's no problem with doing this, although it's probably better to actually run syslinx to make the disk bootable instead of copying ldlinux.sys directly. There have been various reports of folks haveing trouble with hard disks or high capacity floppies and particular versions of syslinux. You should use whichever version works for you. As long as your disk boots and syslinux loads the kernel and root.lrp, it's doing it's job. BTW: Before you assume the syslinux used with Dachstein is broken, you should try running syslinux from the command line of a linux or windows box to make the disk bootable. IIRC syslinux requires some chunk of sectors to be contiguous so it can read in enough code to understand the FAT file system. Please let me (and the list) know if you have problems with particular versions of syslinx and the 1743K disk format.
