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.
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.

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.
