Hello,

I have a squashfs based distro in my usb stick. It is Trisquel-mini-slaine.
In the root folder of the usb stick, there is a syslinux.cfg. The contents
are below. It looks like it is for showing a grub like menu. But there is
no menu displayed while booting. Could you please help me to understand
what is wrong ?

Thanks,

Have it worked before?

Have you followed any specific installation guide? Which one?

I have downloaded this one from the following url, sometime ago. But now
this url is not working too.
http://devel.trisquel.info/slaine/trisquel-mini-master/casper/

I just copied them to my usb stick, then did the following command and it
started booting. Is there any installation guide? Please show me if there
is one.

#syslinux /dev/sdb1

thanks,

You might also want to notice that slaine end-of-lifed on March 24, 2012.

It's not a good idea to use unsupported software.

That's okay for me. I just want to learn how that syslinux.cfg works. Is
there any installation guide? Will that help?

Thanks.

In that case you'll probably find info here http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/The_Syslinux_Project

My syslinux.cfg shows a 'menu' line. Will the syslinux display a grub like
menu while booting ?
