I fear that this is too complicated for many of the users of my tiny distribution. I like the idea of these hybrid images. You just have one file and can use it for a CD or an USB stick. It is more or less easy to handle. > I finally find this a better solution than isohybrid since I don't have > to bother anymore with testing the USB version and users can keep using > their USB devices as they were doing before, ie. as a storage device! Yes, I think your solution is more solid than the hybrid images. But the handling is more difficult, I think. The problem is that these USB images are preferred more and more. And for me, it is much more comfortable to write my image to a USB stick than burning a CD for each test loop of the distribution. But thanks for your hint, anyway!
