Topic: isohybrid #! release?

While I was roaming around for different distro to possibly try (I ended up w/ #! 10 nov),
I noticed crux has an isohybrid release.  In other words, the iso is burnable on CD and
copyable on an USB stick.

It would be nice if #! has this.   But...

How much extra work is involved?
How much extra space is needed?
What other developer's issue are there?

This is my dd, there are many like it, but this one is mine.
My dd is my best friend. It is my life. I must master my dd, as I must master my life.
My dd, without me, is useless. Without my dd, I am…


Okay, I admit: I took the text from the Bash Coder's Creed and replaced "bash" with "dd".

^ and they adapted it from the Rifleman's Creed, as can also be heard in the movie 'Jarhead': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifleman%27s_Creed

Re: isohybrid #! release?

I'd say the most popular movie with the Creed is Full Metal Jacket. By the way, rhowaldt: "they" refers to the number of wrinkles in my trollface right now, isn't it?

To get back on topic: Is this still correct? http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/statler … stallation

Re: isohybrid #! release?

^ agreed, but i don't remember it from Full Metal Jacket as well, simply because it has been longer ago since i seen that movie.
"they" refers to the number of wrinkles in your trollface indeed wink

Re: isohybrid #! release?

Ubuntu is pretty much the only distro that didn't do hybrid images until Oneiric Alpha 2 or something.

Cool! I didn't know that (probably overlooked the #! download page) that #! is isohybrid. 
I'll try it out.
