Folks: Just did this process for first time and found an issue and then came up with an ad-hoc solution which I posted on another use-group. I have been informed I should re-post it here; but as a newcomer to this list, sorry if this is already a known issue and a known solution, but here goes:.
>The new F14 live SoaS spin from the Sugarlabs link, when put onto a USB stick using the Fedora Windows >Live-USB-Creator, hangs immediately on the attempted boot at the initial " SYSLINUX 3.81 ....." line. >It would appear that this 3.81 version used by the Windows creator may be too old for F14. > I noticed on a raw F14-DVD ISO spin, that it was using 4.02 SYSLINUX. > So, I poked around and found that there is this neat little zip archive up at >http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/4.xx/syslinux-4.02.zip. If you unzip it then drill down >into the win32 (or win64 if you are using a 64-bit machine to build) and then copy that decompressed >syslinux.exe over the one in the LiveUSB program file "Tools" sub directory, and then go ahead and >re-build the USB stick, all is good. >On a tangential note, the new SoaS build doesnt appear in the dropdown for LiveUSB Creator yet, but >downloading it from the Sugarlabs spins to the machine, and then using the browse function on the creator >pointing to the downloaded ISO wokrs fine. (Just a friendly reminder to increase the persistent storage, on a >4GB stick I chose 1220 and it seems to work fine). The USB stick was formatted to FAT32, 32kb blocks, with >Name FEDORA before running the create. And o yeah, don't forget to change the BIOS boot order to pick the >USB HDD as the first device. Cheers, KG
