I have uploaded isohybrid ISOs to the release candidates area. Also, I have made a script that installs an isohybrid ISO to a usb below. You choose the iso, then choose the USB device. The only thing is that this makes the USB like a CD ISO in that you have to choose a TCE directory outside of the chosen USB. Still viable, but I will also make a USB install like Unetbootin that lets you use the USB for the TCE directory. Below and attached is the install script, run it with an ISO downloaded from the release candidates area ISOs that have been run with isohybrid.
I hesitate to tell new users to use the dd command to try dCore on USB because of the risk, so the script makes it safer.
