Seems to make no difference.

#-------------------------------

"isohybrid" and "isohybrid.pl" are from 2012-07-03, but I've tested  
older *.iso files made with the same script (and older "isohybrid"  
versions): same behaviour.

> and specify how you applied the ISO to the UFD?

        dd if=/path/to/*.iso of=/dev/sdb


Viele Gruesse!
