Hi Tom, glad to see you've tried the Porteus ISO! What operating system are you on? What did you try before deciding to make the dd'able version? Which site shows how to make a hybrid? Interested in all your details! /Tobben, 15 March 2016


I use OSX & Ubuntu by preference, Windows when I have to. I'd read about utilities that can change an ISO to be "hybrid" bootable from both an optical drive and from a memory stick. The command is "isohybrid", is part of the "syslinux" package and is described here:

Ok, did you try the USB installation script described in the documentation?

cd /media/<user>/<USB-stick-name>/boot
sudo ./Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com 

See D3D_Live_ISO#From_Within_Ubuntu-instructions

Did you manage to boot into it yet?

On the note of inductors for this run, buying is most likely the best option. Hand winding is hell, but there are machines that do this (it's a rather complex mechanism), and we may be able to develop one in the future

I don't think this one is open source, but it shows they can be built small scale:

This is a more industrial one

Just thought i'd chime in with this.

On the note of Compressed Air having a Ball Valve for the Tank Water Drain, and potentially having an additional one for Condensate in the Supply Pipe is nice.

My current employer has a building/tank farm with a pretty well set up compressed air system, so figured what i learned from that. (granted y’all probably did the same stuff, it’s not rocket science and whatnot but yeah)

Main reason i made a mental note of it is the OTHER building’s air compressor does NOT have all that (or a regulator etc)

Either way best of luck with all the building!
