Hi all.

As you know recent puppy linux ISO Images like fossapup64 do not work when flashed to usb drive.

A easy method to make this ISO images boot on a usb drive is to upgrade them to a ISO-Hyrbid image.

Here is the step by step How To do it.
How to convert a ISO image into a ISO-Hybrid Image

In short all what you need is to install the isohybrid utility that is availble syslinux.utils
and just run the code to convert a iso image to a iso-hybrid image to boot the same on a usb drive.

Code: Select all

# isohybrid yourimage.iso

I have tested it and it works !

Not actually true, the stock ISO can make a Legacy, UEFI or hybrid USB, see here viewtopic.php?t=5487

I believe that Rufus has an option to burn it as an ISO hybrid.

@Phoenix

You are correct about Rufus. If you look in Getting Started and System Requirements at this topic viewtopic.php?t=5192 you'll find an outline of hardware and the installers for each category. Rufus is my personal favorite, but only available for MS Win.
