To the hardworking Devs and ISO-builders, Please, that's pretty please with sugar on top, can we have hybrid .ISOs for the expected new batch of live CDs/DVDs with TDE R14.0.2?? My reasons for asking ....
- Many modern PCs and most laptop/netbooks do not have an optical
drive. 2. I know there are utilities for writing an ISO to a USB-stick
but
they are not particularly user-friendly. eg. unetbootin is a total PITA. Besides a simple "sudo dd if=path-to-hybrid of=/dev/usb-stick" is trivial and works as expected. 3. Boot and run from a USB-stick is much faster than any CD/DVD so demonstrating to potential new adopters is a better experience.
Thanks in antic, Glen
Do you have a link to how to build the hybrid images (from the command line is preferred)? I haven't looked into that technology as I tend to build live USB images with unetbootin.
Thanks!

I'm in my script simply run on final iso file: isohybrid $TREE/../tde-$TDE-ubuntu-$UBUNTU-desktop-$ARCH.iso
-- Slávek
This sounds like the easiest solution; I'll look into activating this on the CD builder.
Thanks all!
