	I've been trying to use the liveusb-creator app/tool but it keeps
failing.  Under Vista(godhelpus) syslinux blows off with a reproducible
error that I can't remember and under Linux it's a different error but
the same general problem.  Looks like there's no way I can get F9
installed on this frelling box!

	Just wants to make me kick eMachines and Micrsofts asses.
