@Bogomips

thank you for your advice to visit the beginners page.
Yes, I did so and found too, that there is no browser in the basic installed porteus.
And tere are more failores, following only a little selection:
- updates do not function;
exception: in various attempts I succeeded only once, to update slackware

- installation programs for Windows and Linux do not work at all
if you want, give me the name of one linux distro to be used with the Linux-installer
I tried two hands full

- an infinite loop after boot level 4: INIT: Id "x1" respawning to fast: disabled for 5 minutes

- some more issues

I am not sure, that you at least read my error reports.
The beginners site, you told me to visit, has nothing to do with only one issue I reported.

Regards
Karl

Hi,
when running the Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com
for example from Downloads-folder on partition sda10

karl@mintdebianclear ~ $ cd Downloads
karl@mintdebianclear ~/Downloads $ sudo bash Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com

it will install only to the same partition sda10, see below

Installing Porteus to /dev/sda10
WARNING: Make sure this is the right partition before proceeding.

Type 'ok' to continue or press Ctrl+c to exit.
^CExited installer.
karl@mintdebianclear ~/Downloads $


So it is impossible to choose a free partition for
a fresh installation.

I tried this with a completely fresh installation of
Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS

Ups,
my last reply was deleted?!

Summary:
I tried nearly all flavors of porteus.
The only one, which works with my computer is Cinnamon 64bit, v3.2.2final

No endless loop when booting
German keyboard works

No
INIT: Id "x1" respawning too fast: disabled for five minutes

No damaged bootinfo after manual correction of system time
etc.

All the problems I described persist with other flavours.
And I did the different installations in the exact same manner:

Boot from DVD and use the Porteus-installer to install to always the same USB-stick.
I am no techie and do not know, where the different behavior from the different flavours come from.

I finally came to the status, that I can now evaluate porteus qualities.

Thank you to all who tried to help.
Regards
Karl
