ISOHYBRID(1) Syslinux Project ISOHYBRID(1)

NAME

isohybrid - Postprocess ISO images for hybrid mode
 

SYNOPSIS

isohybrid [OPTIONS] IMAGE
 

DESCRIPTION

Starting in version 3.72, ISOLINUX supports a "hybrid mode" which can be booted from either CD-ROM or from a device which BIOS considers a hard disk or ZIP disk, e.g. a USB key or similar.
To enable this mode, the .iso image needs to be postprecessed with this utility.
