Editing an Install - command line access

Post#1 by rcadmin » 10 Aug 2015, 04:28

I am having wireless issues and need to get to the command-line so that I can do the following:
What to do if your NIC is not working with the broadcom-sta driver?
The solution is quite simple as Porteus comes with other drivers which should do the job. The only thing which must be done is to blacklist 'wl' driver (our broadcom-sta) and unblacklist the rest. To do this, create a file (plain text) at /mnt/sdXY/porteus/rootcopy/etc/modprobe.d/b43_blacklist.conf with following content:

blacklist wl
Alas I can't work out how to access the CLI to make the change.

Hello rcadmin,

You can get to the cli but you wont be able to change any settings permanently. See kiosk FAQ:

Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

1) You would have to remaster the installation ISO:

2) broadcom-sta driver is not present in kiosk so blacklisting wont work anyway. Please follow instructions from here:
