same error (thank goodness - I copied your command exactly and if it had worked I would have whacked the functional grub4dos on that sdb1 usb flash drive...my main boot)

...am hacking on /mnt/sdc1  ;)

This appears to have worked:
Code: [Select]
$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdc
[Changed system type of partition 1 to b (W95 FAT32)]

$ sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1
$ sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1
$ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/sdc1/boot/syslinux
$ sudo syslinux --directory /boot/syslinux/ --install /dev/sdc1
$ ls /mnt/sdc1/boot/syslinux
ldlinux.sys

..though I didn't add a syslinux.cfg and try to boot

Edit: corrected mkfs.vfat line

got error mkfs.vfat not found
thought it was mkdosfs

?

FOUND IT - tce-load -i mkisofs-tools

same error message

"possible unsafe /tmp/ permissions"

have found effective "work around" using (ahem) W2K Installation CD and QEMU...works well.
Wine under TC can't seem to get er done either, but W2K/QEMU combination
has been fairly painless and reliable.
