Bug#831368: live-wrapper: output live.iso not isohybrid, cannot be booted from thumb drive

2016-07-17 Thread Thomas Schmitt
Hi, if the live.iso has ISOLINUX boot software and an El Torito boot record for PC-BIOS, then you may apply SYSLINUX program "isohybrid" to it. To inspect the existing boot equipment of the ISO, run xorriso -indev live.iso -report_el_torito plain -report_system_area plain If it reports that t
