I have two USB pendrives, one 4 GB and one 8 GB.  On both I installed 
FusionLinux, which is a custom Fedora build.  I used the installer from 
pendrivelinux.com.  Saying Fusion was not on the list of supported distros, 
it didn't work.  Saying it was Fedora 14, the 4 Gb drive boots fine, but the 
8 Gb drive says that syslinux can't find its config file or a set boot 
target as an alternative.  On inspection, I can see no difference between 
the two.  Permissions seem to be the same.  I copied the syslinux.cfg across 
from the working one to the 8 Gb in case there was a hidden character, or 
something.  Nothing helps.

An 8 GB from another source was ignored on bootup.  This one is found, but 
can't be used.

Any suggestions, please?  Or is it just gremlins?

Doug.
