   Can I use tazusb with the iso files or should I just go this route?

   Hi guys,

   I tried modifying the pendrivelinux syslinux file as described, but it would not load, wound up at boot: prompt. Tried both iso files using tazusb.exe, it locked up at the copyright line ending in "Peter Alvin".

   Just for laughs, I also tried it with the standard rolling, no luck.

   do you have windows running on the internal disk?

   the gurb4dos is working like a charm - used a week ago http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:frugal

   and I did a stick last September like I described you, because in those days tazusb did not work at all.

   how to mount a iso file to copy the files the stick:

   I decided to sidestep the usb issue and got a usb cd-rom. I burned a cd of standard rolling, and the cd stopped booting at the copyright line as well.

   Problems with usb booting are often down to the system timing out before it finds its root filesystem.

   Try adding 'rootdelay=9' on the kernel line of the grub bootloader.

   @tmoulder - can you please try bellards iso - in the other thread - I think the best would be with the stick - when it boots chnage the rootfs.gz

    Not sure tazusb.exe works

    Copying all files from /boot/isolinux/ folder of the ISO to /boot/syslinux/ folder of your stick has replaced files /boot/syslinux/c32box.c32 and /boot/syslinux/vesamenu.c32. These 2 files must come from the same version than syslinux that is installed: syslinux is 4.06 on rolling but I don't know what release uses UUI. If different it's possible it's the cause of the problem.
    Try again kultex instructions without select files /boot/isolinux/c32box.c32 and /boot/isolinux/vesamenu.c32.

    EDIT :
    My mistake: c32box.c32 is not a file of the syslinux project. So, just the original vesamenu.c32 file mustn't be changed or you can have problem at boot.
