Where is isohybrid
  • KlausKlaus June 2010
    Hi

    I would like to try SliTaz on a wery small machine only able to usb boot. On the download page there is at link to a wiki page which mentions ""isohybrid" script from the utils directory". Where is this and can I run the script on another Linux.

    Slitaz site search result: http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/releases/3.0/relnotes.en.html#livecd
    LiveCD flavors: The ISO image now uses a 'hybrid' system: it can also be copied onto an USB stick without formating it (using dd).

    Good info here: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Doc/isolinux
    Scroll to: HYBRID CD-ROM/HARD DISK MODE

    You can run syslinux on any linux.

    Slitaz offers /usr/bin/isohybrid in syslinux-tools and syslinux-extras tazpkg

    Thanks for the query, you brought up a new feature in linux I had never heard of.

    I'm going to dd the xvesa flavor of slitaz onto a new usb flash drive and see if it boots.

    Do I understand correctly that the livecd image is already prepared with "isohybrid" so I can go ahead and make a USB using dd.

    No boot on 5 computers.
    I tried slitaz-3.0-base.iso and slitaz-3.0.iso with of=/dev/sda and /dev/sda1
    Md5sum the USB key, the only file that fails is /boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin
    I guess that file is modified by the isohybrid script after the md5sum list is generated ?
    Maybe it will work for someone else...
