Oops, forgot to mention two things. I know this feature seems a little odd, 
so I wanted to explain a bit more... --skipcopy doesn't skip all copying, 
just the live OS which makes it useful for testing the boot configuration. 
It's also useful for USB media, where testing over and over would normally 
be wasting limited write cycles it takes a lot of waiting for the 700MB file 
copy finish. ALso, say the MBR gets lost or you've transferred the live OS 
files from a friend's key, you can just refresh the MBR and bootloader 
config instead without touching the live OS and persistant home.

For this I mean GPT+MBR syslinux support, that made it sound like the patch 
broke the syslinux boot ;)
