[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Bootable ISO

[Rich Moffitt]

A very long time ago, I believe on Windows I used daemon tools for this
kind of thing. Later on, Poweriso. More recently, xorriso in Linux to build
a custom UEFI image or just dd to create a straight image of USB media. It
sounds to me like you were able to build a bootable USB image that you just
want to convert to ISO, so perhaps dd would be sufficient here, so long as
you don't need to make other customizations.
