Hmm ... I've mounted it, modified it and eventually tried to run the bash 
script to copy it over to a USB stick.  It wasn't happy to run this time, 
following my modifications:

# bash ./usb_inst.sh 
Device [/dev/sdb] detected as [         USB DISK Pro    ] is removable and 
size=954MB
* Device [/dev/sdb] is not mounted
Device [/dev/sdc] detected as [         USB DISK Pro    ] is removable and 
size=1MB
* Device [/dev/sdc] is not mounted

Which package do I need to emerge for isohybrid?
