List of laptops
List of laptops
I've make a little list of laptops that boot Porteus 3.1 (mostly 64-bit): http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/D3D_L ... ed_to_Boot
There's also a list of (one) laptop that didn't boot on first try: http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/D3D_L ... 3D_Porteus
Does anyone know about similar lists elsewhere on the Internet?
Also, you're very welcome to use/contribute to the list if you like it!

Acer Aspire One 722 works (BIOS, 32 bit & 64 bit) & Acer Aspire One 725 works (UEFI, 64 bit).

Re: List of laptops
This is a great initiative!
Perhaps you can find a way to get people to add their systems to a list. If everyone from the forum could add their system to the list, it would be great.

Re: List of laptops
Thanks! What buttons do you press to enter BIOS and/or UEFI config? Is changing boot order the only thing you do, or are there things like secure boot that needs disabling?Ed_P wrote:Acer Aspire One 722 works (BIOS, 32 bit & 64 bit) & Acer Aspire One 725 works (UEFI, 64 bit).
I'm not sure about the best way to create such a list. A dedicated Porteus wiki would cover the need, but would require both work and hosting. Is it possible to create sticky posts that anyone can edit? BBCode supports tables, although not sortable.brokeman wrote:This is a great initiative!

For now, I'll search around this forum and edit the list on opensourceecology.org/wiki manually. EDIT: Found 3 models that didn't boot, put them in http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/D3D_L ... 3D_Porteus
To get their models added, Porteus forum users can respond to this thread with

Re: List of laptops
Thanks for posting it so it can help other. I want to buy a new laptop but I want it to work to. I hope you gets new laptop so I will know. Great job on this idea.
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.

Re: List of laptops
Toshiba sattelite z930, MSI-340-x, HP 1540ca, all three are laptops.
For your intimation, there is no reason that one desktop would work and another not. These Linux box have been working on porteus since ver. 2.0. A search with porteus and these laptop named will confirm.

Thanks! What buttons do you press to enter BIOS, and what BIOS settings did change?francois wrote:Toshiba sattelite z930, MSI-340-x, HP 1540ca, all three are laptops.
I'll be using the list for RepRap workshops. The purpose of the list is to avoid one or two web searches per participant. A 2 min time saving per laptop would be super good for us For the same reason, we won't map sound cards and wifi cards. We'll only use keyboard, basic video, touchpad/mouse and USB ports.
Du you mean we can assume that all models mentioned in the old thread will boot Porteus 3.1 with working video, keyboard, touchpad and USB ports?francois wrote:For your intimation, there is no reason that one desktop would work and another not.

Re: List of laptops
Toshiba will boot USB automatically without intervening in the bios. MSI to bios is F11. I will have to come back for the HP but I think it is the F10 key.
Everything works out of the box with 3.1.

Re: List of laptops
For the hp, I confirm F10 for bios. and I add that this should be good for most hp boxes.
Good work.
