10 Starting in version 3.72, ISOLINUX supports a "hybrid mode" which can
11 be booted from either CD-ROM or from a device which BIOS considers a
12 hard disk or ZIP disk, e.g. a USB key or similar.
13
14 To enable this mode, the .iso image should be postprocessed with the
15 "isohybrid" script from the utils directory:
16
17 isohybrid filename.iso
18
19 This script creates the necessary additional information to be able to
20 boot in hybrid mode. It also pads out the image to an even multiple of
21 1 MB.
22
23 This image can then be copied using any raw disk writing tool (on Unix
24 systems, typically "dd" or "cat") to a USB disk, or written to a
25 CD-ROM using standard CD burning tools.

27 dd if=livedvd-amd64-multilib-11.1-r3.iso of=/dev/sdx
