Not sure what you are seeing.

 Not all hybrids have the right materials for USB boot.
 You'd be surprised, if your run a "disktype" on some

calling into question how much test the ISO got before
release. Usually they get further than that.
 That's why it is best to start with a mainstream distro,
rather than "look for an item not on the map".
