A. USB INSTALL.
Installing to usb is as usual straightforward with the porteus installer.
B. HDD INSTALL.
1.0 install the nemesis media.
For hdd install, from linux use mloop to install the boot, config and nemesis folders on the partition of your choice. Unless you prefer to boot from iso, this way install the nemesis.iso on the partition of your choice.
2.0 Bootloader modifications for a grub2 installation:
Then modify your bootloader according to the usual porteus cheatcodes. What is important is the use of the changes= cheatcode. The EXIT option does not work for now, just point to the directory of your choice (on linux filesystem). As an example with grub 2 you will have to modify the 40_custom from this other linux installation that I have on your computer (in my case manjaro):
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
# path to the partition holding ISO images (using UUID)
probe -u $root --set=rootuuid
set imgdevpath="/dev/disk/by-uuid/$rootuuid"
menuentry "porteus NEMESIS 64bit_v31 XFCE" {
set root=(hd0,6)
linux /boot/syslinux/vmlinuz from=/dev/sda6/64bit_v31_nemesis changes=/64bit_v31_nemesis login=root
initrd /boot/syslinux/initrd.xz
}
menuentry "porteus NEMESIS 64bit_v31 XFCE" {
set root=(hd0,6)
linux /64bit_v31_nemesis/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz from=/dev/sda6/64bit_v31_nemesis login=root
initrd /64bit_v31_nemesis/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz
}
menuentry "Porteus NEMESIS BASE PMAN x86-64 ISO" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,1)
set isofile="/ISO/nemesis-v3.1-x86_64.iso"
search --no-floppy --file --set=root $isofile
loopback loop $isofile
linux (loop)/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz from=$isofile login=root
initrd (loop)/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz
}
