To my understanding, with isolinux, the two and only two choices are
/boot/isolinux and /isolinux. Though I have in the past put my kernel
and initrd in /boot, with just the isolinux files under /boot/isolinux.
Likewise, just to put all options on the table, a decent argument can
be made for putting /LiveOS under /boot (or just the files therein).

++++ CONFIGURATION FILE ++++
All the configurable defaults in SYSLINUX can be changed by putting a
file called "syslinux.cfg" in the root directory of the boot disk.
This is a text file in either UNIX or DOS format, containing one or
more of the following items (case is insensitive for keywords; upper
case is used here to indicate that a word should be typed verbatim):
Starting with version 3.35, the configuration file can also be in
either the /boot/syslinux or /syslinux directories (searched in that
order.) If that is the case, then all filenames are assumed to be
relative to that same directory, unless preceded with a slash or
backslash.
Ok, then I think it's better to use /boot/syslinux.
