Any good links on doing this yourself? This is my first attempt at using a USB drive this way and google has been less than helpful. I didn't get much use out of syslinux.org either, unfortuantly. The documentation there is somewhat lacking from a general use prespecitve.

Its whatever comes with SLES 10. I believe it's version 3.1-20.11 from a search I saw on the web.
