Blatant copy and paste :)

Starting in version 3.72, ISOLINUX supports a "hybrid mode" which can
be booted from either CD-ROM or from a device which BIOS considers a
hard disk or ZIP disk, e.g. a USB key or similar.

To enable this mode, the .iso image should be postprocessed with the
"isohybrid" script from the utils directory:

        isohybrid filename.iso

This script creates the necessary additional information to be able to
boot in hybrid mode. It also pads out the image to an even multiple of
1 MB.

This image can then be copied using any raw disk writing tool (on Unix
systems, typically "dd" or "cat") to a USB disk, or written to a
CD-ROM using standard CD burning tools.

        dd  if=livedvd-amd64-multilib-11.1-r3.iso   of=/dev/sdx
