I am sorry. I am having a second thought. Obviously syslinux can boot an .iso image directly, therefore the creation of a usb live image is not necessary. However the first time I tried to install a proper Netbsd system on my laptop, I tried a poor man's approach using just syslinux and an .iso image and I couldn't boot the installation cd. So the question remains: would the .iso created by pkgsrc/sysutils/mklivecd boot from syslinux? Thanks -- Ottavi
