…from EasyOS, a Linux distro, which moved to the .img format.
ISO9660 file format, not the other ISOs.
Thank fuck not ISO8601. Wish ISO 27001 would tho, such a pain to comply.
27001/2 are required. And they’re only hard to adopt when the Delta is just so much. If you’re doing ITIL to your best extent then it should be easier: people are used to accepting incoming wisdom and there are opportunities to implement in an orderly fashion.
So, “moving fast and breaking stuff” is further into the “yeehaw kids” realm.
Oop, fixed
I have a few CD-ROMs labeled “High Sierra” because the ISO 9660 format was always a loose approximation of what people were already doing. It got kludged even harder as CD-R and CD-RW took off. Turning that into something a USB drive can boot was a magic trick that lasted far longer than it probably should’ve.
Perhaps this is a silly question. Why not release on both formats?
https://easyos.org/about/why-the-iso-format-has-to-die.html has parts about why not release an ISO as well. The most pertinent part seems to be at the bottom.
Can you use a .img file on a DVD? I store all the ISOs I have on optical media. Other than that, .img sounds like a really good format. I would have to learn something new to use it though.
Yes. ImgBurn, which is what I used to use with CDs, supports it.
