+ | <note important>Having read the "http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:hacklivecd#modify-the-isolinux-configuration" page, I seem to understand that what was the "main boot loader" was actually the isolinux boot loader, which in turn starts syslinux (with FAT32 usb sticks). With ext-formatted drives, syslinux itself then also starts extlinux before that boot loader can load slitaz. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Is this correct ? If so, update the text accordingly above. One really need to now this to know what files to edit. Also, is it possible to leave out booting the syslinux boot loader completely when booting a slitaz liveUSB stick formatted in ext3 ? If possible, I suppose one can just alter the isolinux files to accomplish this, and then make 2 versions of the customised slitaz distro if one wants to; knowlingly | ||
