I am trying to find where it said that again, but I know I had to do 
it to make it work on my system when I used the livecd-iso-to-disk 
script from the F9 live CD and an F8 system. The latest syslinux for 
F8 is livecd-iso-to-disk script and you need version 3.5.0 or later 
for it to work. (The F8 livecd-iso-to-disk script does not support 
persistent overlays.
