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.
Note:
isohybrid.pl is a Perl script, a C implementation of the
same utility is available as isohybrid(1).
