NAME

       isohybrid.pl - Postprocess ISO images for hybrid mode (Perl)

SYNOPSIS

       isohybrid.pl [OPTIONS] IMAGE

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).
