Re: Why I think producing a .img is better than an .iso

Ok, so I was wrong... writing the .iso file on a USB key will work if booted in MBR mode (legacy) rather than UEFI.

Still as I see it, we have the choice between what we do now: -make an .iso that boot on MBR only when written to an USB stick -works as an emulated "CDROM"  on QEMU -works on a real CDROM/DVD drive

or to make as default a .img file that: -that boot on an USB stick in MBR or UEFI -would works as an emulated USB stick on QEMU (admittedly, I would have to try that) -would need an over step to make as a .iso for a real CDROM/DVD drive

My argument is that because computers tend to often not have DVD drive anymore, and some computers begin to boot only in UEFI mode, it would be better to produce by default a .img file.
