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 ....
1. 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!

For Debian you can use Debian Live (1) (which is currently undergoing
transformation) to build regular live images or iso-hybrid images. With
Debian Live I recommend actually installing it (live-build) onto your
machine and building the live images on your own machines. The build
service is going to be shut down (probably today or tomorrow). I,
personally, use Debian Live to build my iso-hybrid images the only issue is
it doesn't, yet, work with UEFI but that is being worked on as we speak.
You could also use Refracta (2). I've never used it so I can't comment on
its usefulness.

This sounds like the easiest solution; I'll look into activating this on
the CD builder.

This has now been enabled on the nightly build LiveCDs, and will be part
of the next TDE release. As a reminder, nightly builds, embedded system
images, and nightly LiveCDs are available exclusively to developers and
financial supporters of the TDE project.
Thanks,

Hi all,
Just want to say that now you can buy on ebay an external USB DVD drive-burner for
15-20$.
As a long-time Asus EEE user, I found it to be really useful. But, it is true that LiveCD
are sometimes painfully slow to use on real CD drive.
While UnetBootIn does not work always on first try, I have yet to see it fail completely.
I see that if I don't use the computer at all while UnetBootIn works, I get better
results, but the same goes for dd too.
Have a great day!

Hi Lisi,
Almost everything will boot from external USB dvd drive, except maybe if you're
talking about launching a Win 98 install, or old Debian.
The problem you're seeing is when the USB ports of the computer can't supply
enough power by itself to make the drive work properly. Nowadays, most drives can work
properly with either 1 USB port, or by adding (included with the drive) a second USB plug
to supply more power to the drive.
Have a great day!

Not in this case. The BIOS wouldn't wait for something to be read. It could
only read off something that was already available before the BIOS looked for
it. So the CD/DVD had to have been spun up in advance of the laptop's being
turned on, which meant that it had to be separately powered. A solid state
hard drive does not have to spin up and can be read immediately.
