No, simply because the iso-hybrid image use the *whole* USB stick which ends up being read-only, while with the hd-media images your USB stick must have a CD/DVD image on it, mostly the netinst or business ones, but you can also put a DVD one if you manually prepare the USB stick. Everything is explained in the Installation Guide, "§ 4.3. Preparing Files for USB Memory Stick Booting": <http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch04s03.html.en> BTW, as already said, these questions are for the debian-boot@ people... Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
