brianperry added my second remark; I hope someone reads it and corrects this manual accordingly

 +<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
 +* one for FAT32-formatted sticks (isolinux booting syslinux which then boots slitaz)
 +* one for ext-formatted sticks (isolinux booting extlinux which then boots slitaz) ​

 +<note important>​I looked at the ext3-based slitaz 5 version I made a few days ago to check whether there is indeed an extlinux as well as an syslinux folder at /boot/ (and see whether there are any isolinux files in / ). I didn't find a syslinux folder though (which would imply it automatically loads extlinux after loading the main boot loader -isolinux-). The only folder I found was an "​extlinux"​ folder at /boot/. Other files at /boot/ were bzImage, rootfs.gz, rootfs2.gz, rootfs3.gz, rootfs4.gz. So besides not finding a syslinux boot loader, I also didn't find any isolinux files at /, but I did found an isolinux file at /​boot/​extlinux,​ confirming that this isolinux boot loader is indeed the first boot loader that is started.
 +
 +In the /​boot/​extlinux folder, I found both the isolinux.cfg file mentioned above, as well as extlinux.conf. I added in the files in annex as texts file. I'm not sure but this would hence seem to imply that there is also no /​boot/​syslinux/​ folder made at all (for any slitaz version, fat32 or ext3). I'm not sure on this however. </​note>​
