A Mandriva user suggested a command that would put syslinux onto the drive.
It didn't work, nor did any reasonable variation that I could think of, so,
having nothing to lose, I employed rule 99: When in doubt, cheat.
I stuck a usb fedora stick and the mandriva stick in while running xandros,
and copied syslinux from fedora to mandriva. I didn't expect it to work but
it did, and Mandriva is working perfectly happily now.
All that's left is to do a usb stick with windows, and I can handle pretty
much anything from my EeePC :-)
