As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, isohybrid did the trick.

What I don't know is whether the isohybridized version of the .iso
would still work on a CD. If so, it might be effective just to
distribute the hybridized version of the .iso.

If not, we should possibly distribute both. An instruction to use
isohybrid is unlikely to be useful to a complete beginner who does not
yet have a Linux xytem available.

Of course, this was a pre-alpha. Not expecting perfection and a
vast infrastructure for all possibilities yet.
