Syslinux - Jul 2008 - isolinux-3.70: Doesn't Load .BSS Images

Just tried the latest release and found a minor bug.  Have 
a UFD w/ SYSLINUX, which boots a simple .BSS image no problem.  
Launching exactly the same image on a ISOLINUX disc fails w/ 
the following error msg:

Invalid image type for this media

That's it for this msg.  Later....Jet

That's not a bug.  BSS images only make sense on FAT filesystems (boot 
sector + copying the FAT superblock), so you can't load them from an ISO 
9660 filesystem...

I see.  Very well, I will adjust my menu accordingly.  Even though I GOOGLEd
before posting, I had no idea such animal existed.  Thanx.....Jet
