Grub trouble testing Fedora 11 snapshot 1 using liveusb-creator

Hello,

this is a known issue if you creating the LiveUSB of Fedora 11 within
Fedora 10. Because it requires the latest version of syslinux, which
is currently only available in Rawhide.

If you use Fedora 10 or below you should upgrade to the latest
syslinux package using this command:

su -c "yum --enablerepo=rawhide update syslinux"

and run the liveusb-creator again.

Regards,
Niels
