Some basic questions please
Posted: 23 Dec 2011, 06:44
I used porteus earlier but had to discontinue it due to some reasons. I want to use it again. Could someone please answer following simple questions for me:
1. Which version should I use now (I need a stable distro)
2. Can I start porteus in a user mode (not root) and how to do it if it is not default?
3. To do admin work, do I use sudo or su ?
4. Can I start porteus without mounting all partitions (I think I can use noauto cheatcode)?
5. I think the modules are in xzm format. Can I use lzm2xzm command to convert some lzm modules from slax repository?
6. How can I choose to work in lxde, kde-trinity and kde4 ?
I know the information is all here on this website, but it will be very helpful if someone can briefly answer these questions.
Thanks in advance.
