Copying from TMP to Modules

[nheather]

Very new to Porteus. I have created a working bookable USB stick.

I now want to start adding some new software.

To start I found that I need to select a browser - I chose Chrome and it downloaded but with a message that I need to copy it from TMP$ to the modules folder.

I can see the modules folder on my memory stuck using the dolphin file browser.

Can't see TMP$ though - I assume that is in memory which is why it gets lost on reboot.

I can open a console and CD TMP and then LS and see the chrome files.

But not entirely sure what I need to copy to the modules folder and how to do it. I can't work out how to see TMP in dolphin.

Never mind, just seen a post asking a similar question. I will try that first.

Look for /tmp not TMP$ and COPY the /tmp/*xzm module to the /porteus/modules folder.

Code: Select all

cp /tmp/*.xzm /porteus/modules/

An error that some people run into is they try to MV the /tmp file as GUEST and that doesn't work because the /tmp/*.xzm file is a ROOT file.
