> 1) make the first partition active

I did this.
> 2) format the usb stick with fat or ext3
I formatted it using mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1
> (b) ext3 : you will need to use extlinux work on the stick
> extlinux /dev/sd[c]1
I mounted the drive and did
extlinux /media/disk
> 4) I extract the isolinux folder from the dvd iso
I copied all the files from
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/x86_64/isolinux/
to the root directory of the usb drive.
> 5) rename all isolinux to (a) syslinux - (b) extlinux
I renamed the isolinux.bin to extlinux.bin
and isolinux.cfg to extlinux.cfg
> 6) copy the dvd/cd iso(s) to your stick
I copied the iso to the root directory of the usb drive.

I tried to boot off the usb drive and I get a message that
it could not boot the operating system.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Neil
