isohybrid has 2 variants
I'm going to get the hang of this mailing list eventually. Apologies for any duplicate emails..

Not really. I had never found a convincing source for it and had seen previous list entries like this

isohybrid and ISO images whose size is not a multiple of 2048 bytes vs. VirtualBox
Hi,
at [Tails] we're in the process of shipping hybrid ISO images by
default again. We're using `isohybrid -h 255 -s 63' to do that (thanks
to the advice we got on this mailing-list a few months ago!).
And then, we've discovered that sometimes, isohybrid produces ISO
images whose size is not a multiple of 2048 bytes.
Who cares? ... may you ask. Well, apparently, VirtualBox does:

Comparing the help texts of

and
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/syslinux/syslinux.git/tree/utils/isohybrid.in

We at Tails rely on isohybrid.pl for installing on OSX:
https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/installation/manual/mac/
Of course, this does not mean that the current syslinux team owes us
to maintain it forever :) Would it help if someone with the needed

[I was dropped from cc in the initial response but I'd appreciate if you
could keep it this time around since I'm not subscribed to this list.
Thanks!]

JFTR Tails uses GRUB only for 32-bit UEFI. We use syslinux for BIOS
and 64-bit UEFI.

[PATCH] isohybrid: fix overflow on 32 bit system
When call isohybrid with option '-u', it overflows on a 32 bits host. It
seeks to 512 bytes before the end of the image to install gpt header. If
the size of image is larger than LONG_MAX, it overflows fseek() and
cause error:
isohybrid: image-x86-64-20140505110100.iso: seek error - 8: Invalid argument
Replace fseek with fseeko to fix this issue.

Workaround for "hybriding" large ISO images?
Hi,
since the Tails ISO grew from ~900MB to ~1.1GB, we see this warning
when running isohybrid on it:
isohybrid: Warning: more than 1024 cylinders: 1045
isohybrid: Not all BIOSes will be able to boot this device
I guess that's fully expected. And, as expected, we get boot failure
reports from users.
So, my question is: is there a "known optimal" combination of
isohybrid

Acceptable version mismatch between syslinux 6.0N's MBR/ldlinux.sys and *.c32?
Hi there,
first, thanks a lot for syslinux!
I'm aware that one can't mix syslinux 4's MBR + ldlinux.sys with
syslinux 6's COM32R modules. Fair enough. Now, I need to know how
strong this "versions *must* match" requirement is when dealing with
different versions of syslinux 6.x. E.g.
* MBR and ldlinux.sys installed by syslinux 6.03-pre1
* all *.c32 modules

Agreed. But we now have a report about failure of 255x63
on a popular pseudo-hardware, when the ISO is presented
as DVD-ROM. (Probably there is no complaint when it gets
presented as hard disk.)

[PATCH] utils/isohybrid.c: 007 (2nd try) Enable promised options -u, -m, -b
My first attempt ro enable the short options for --uefi, --mac, --mbr
was faulty. Here is the second try.
This change enables the options -u, -m, -b as promised by the help text.
