I'm using a 16gb thumb drive with a 33mb FAT32 boot, 5gb porteus system and 10gb for downloads and dose anything need changed with that? And I have nemesis 3.5 bootable just need to upgrade it with the files I just downloaded.
What Desktop are you using? I might need help setting one up. One thing what is the 20, 14 and 15 mean in your files?
I just need something to do.
I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

i presume you´re using EFI? i have no experience with that, but what you have looks about right..

i´m using openbox with a few additions(spacefm, conky etc)
if you boot up with the 3 base modules(and maybe startx?) you will have openbox with an xterm(black screen with xterm in the middle) rightclick on the black for a basic menu.. use
nmtui if you need wifi connection
then try
pman -S mate (or something else) and see what happens(no guarantees)

Why I did what I did with the 16gb thumb drive is, so I could boot my Dell and use the EFI for my Acer for both Laptop's. It been over or about 2 year since I use nemesis.
Do I need to right down anything to use nmtui? I hope it easy to setup. When I get up I will try pman -S mate (or something else) if I can do it.
When I boot up should it be Text mode or Graphics mode when I run nmtui and pman? I did xzm2dir on 003-*.xzm and took out the package list out of all 3 of the 003-*.xzm and I am going to try and upgrade them or downloand them.
Well I have updated 001-core, 002-gui, 002-xtra and kernel and everything boot's up just find.

Do you have WiFi setup? If so what files do I need to set it up? Do you have a list of the files I might need?

@nm...:
Is it possible to include mlocate xorg-xkill in base modues?
Shouldn't guest be in the sudoers?
/etc/sudoers
Code: Select all
## User privilege specification
##
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
guest ALL=(ALL) ALL #added by fl
Thanks.

probably.. i'll look in to it, next update..

not necessary, because guest is in the 'wheel' group and these lines cover that:
Code: Select all
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/poweroff,/usr/bin/halt,/usr/bin/reboot,/usr/bin/shutdown

I installed Nemesis 3.5, your files and upgraded the kernel on a 4gb USB today. First is the 4gb USB a good starter to learn? If I seem to know what I am doing I move to a 16gb USB or maybe larger USB.
How soon will you upgrade your files? And will the kernel get upgraded again soon?
What I need to do next to get started?

Hello jack. You can work with ncmprhnsbl's base module from now on. Changing the base module once you are installed is a possibility and will not break your system, usually will just more make it more performant. Same thing for changing for a new kernel. In any cases, it is very easy to revert to older kernel or base modules from a regular porteus installation. Are you working from a linux file system?
