Please follow the instructions provided by the make_iso.sh script:

Code: Select all

You can download 'mkisofs' utility directly from this location: http://porteus-kiosk.org/public/files/mkisofs
make it executable, move to /usr/local/bin folder and rerun this script.
Then run 'isohybrid -u ' against your custom ISO and it in virtual machine to make sure its working. If yes then you can burn it on the usb stick.

Thanks
