Porteus Memory Card?
Porteus Memory Card?
Salutations...
I'm interested in booting Porteus from a memory card.

I would be interested in finding out which type has been demonstrated to actually work and what type is proven to actually lock.

Re: Porteus Memory Card?
all have the switch to lock write on,so do not worry,and most interesting is the speed rate,very responsive,you know that you can put the password at syslinux if you want, so no one have access at your boot system without know password

Unfortunately... it has been documented the physical switch can be spoofed.
I saw a thread somewhere on the forum that had the links.
In any case... if you know of anyway to avoid this I'd be interested.

Unfortunately the switch on the card is no physical write protection. It triggers a contact in the card reader only. Most of the card readers ignore the write protect switch or are missing the internal contact that should be triggered by the switch...

Format it as ISO9660. That'll stop writing.

I assume there are various parameters. What is the exact command line string?

Re: Porteus Memory Card?
Code: Select all
dd if=/path/to/porteus.iso of=/dev/sdb
This will write Porteus to the USB device and use the entire device.

I wish I could understand all those advanced concepts you mention in your posts... and I guess your Porteus distribution PekWM Edition make use of most of those features.
This forum has a section for Porteus derivatives; IMHO it would be nice if we could share your PeWM version, so the members of this forum could check on the new ways you propose
Regards!

Porteus is proud of the FASTEST KDE ever made.....(take akonadi, nepomuk and soprano out and you will have a decent OS).

@ wread... my deepest heartfelt apologies regarding sharing my ideas. I just can't seem to catch a break.
After 2yrs of struggling to put together "HardKnox" (Hardened Porteus w/PekWm) I got hit with a microcontroller firmware bug.
It wiped out all my gear ($1500+ ) so I've been grounded until the 1st (payday) when I can make a secure ("Coreboot") box.
I have a backup of everything I did... so it should take me 4 weeks from the time I build the box to release my derivative.
Perhaps if I get lucky this weekend I might manage to boot Porteus on Chromebook ("Coreboot" secured) so I don't have to wait for the box.
However... I will still need brokeman's help to harden the kernel.
HardKnox "features" (this part already works)...

The box I'm making (I already have the case)...

Can this be used for Sata connected devices ??brokenman wrote:Be careful. dd (disk destroyer) can nuke a drive in a heartbeat. Take note that the output file (of=) does not contain a partition number but a block device.Code: Select all
dd if=/path/to/porteus.iso of=/dev/sdb

I have a small 8gb Msata card that i never use and wondered if i could use it as a fast read only boot device.
