The D3D Thesis project aims to provide participants a Live ISO. This is an operating system that resides on a CD, DVD or USB stick that can run on all common computers, independent of the state of their computer's hard drives, thereby bypassing installation procedures for 3D printing related programs.

Tobben's Notes While Developing ISO
Porteus uses modules, Slackware style. We want our ISO to have modules for
- Printrun (most importantly Pronterface)
- Slic3r
- Point-and-klick environment like KDE
- GNU IceCat Web browser (see Wikipedia article)
We need six separate ISOs:
- USB stick, 32-bit
- USB stick, 64-bit
- CD, 32-bit
- CD, 64-bit
- DVD, 32-bit
- DVD, 64-bit
New ISO's are created within Portheus with script /mnt/sdXN/porteus/make_iso.sh.
Maybe useful:
save-changes - dump whole changes from the live session into a module
Wrote ISO to USB stick
sudo dd if=Porteus-KDE4-v3.1-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdc
Didn't work. Re-formatted USB stick, extracted contents of ISO file and put it on USB stick. Mounted USB-stick, copied Portheus files over there and ran the script
/media/torbjorn/Porteus/Porteus/boot/Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com
This produced a final message:
In case of making tweaks to the bootloader config, please edit: /media/torbjorn/Porteus/Porteus/boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg file.
