SYSLINUX now builds in a Linux environment, using nasm.  You need nasm
version 2.03 or later (2.07 or later recommended) to build SYSLINUX
from source.  See http://www.nasm.us/ for information about nasm.

"utils/isohybrid" needs the UUID library and following header file,

	/usr/include/uuid/uuid.h

You can get them from the "uuid-dev" package on Debian based systems
or from the "libuuid-devel" package on RPM based distributions.

There is now a mailing list for SYSLINUX.  See the end of syslinux.txt
for details.
