Create Hybrid ISO Bootable USB

Primary LanguagePython

Copy hybrid iso image to USB device safely with dd tool. If the image is not hybrid, it dds the image as is. If the -c flag is passed then it converts the non-hybrid image to hybrid in-place (you will have to backup it manually if you want).

Dependencies

When -c option is given, if the image provided is not hybrid, it tries to convert it to hybrid image, which depends on isohybrid (which further depends on syslinux, syslinux-utils) .

Install

You can use it from the directory where it resides, or you can install it with:

chmod +x ./chibu #giving execution permission
./install.sh #as root

Usage

./chibu iso_path usb_device [options]
#or if you installed it, then:
chibu iso_path usb_device [options]

Options:

    iso_path		Path to ISO image
    usb_device		USB device path (e.g. /dev/sdb)
    -b, --block		Block size
    -c, --conv		Convert to hybrid if not
    -h , --help		Show this help message
    -v, --version	Show version info
