How would I know for sure if it's ISO hybrid, and how would it fit on
a standard 16GB drive? Guess it wouldn't, unless there was a great
deal of extra space appended at the time the thing was created which
could be truncated/removed. Actually, I strongly suspect that's true
because  the temp file that was created as soon as the process started
was expanded to 20.9GB and never changed, so it's probably full of a
lot of 0's toward the end.
