and that is where it sits. Willing to start over ..NEW install from CD if you are, but instructions must be simplified. Listed step by step with exactly what to type and how. When you say Select All, I don't know if that means select (multiple lines) and paste into terminal or enter each line separately. You have put so much into this, this time around needs to be clearly effective or I can't follow it.
I stand by to take your preference.

I will be back to post the boot screens .... to the best of my ability. Wait for it.
Edit
Shut down, remove CD. Pwr up, b/w screen flashes by VERY FAST. Only make out first word SYSLINUX and saw the word MISSING. Then colored screen titled Porteus-3.1 32 bit w/ choices like Always Fresh and Copy to RAM etc. Then b/w screen Loading VMLINUZ .... ready. Those 5 errors and stops. I summarized those errors above.
Edit 2
Tried again. From HD. At the colored screen, I selected XFCE (I have never done that before) and I am now at my Desktop. Yes, loading modules was mentioned.
EDIT 3
and ... there is a Boinc Manager Icon on the System Menu.
EDIT 4
Thought I should wait ... but could not resist. Ran Boinc Manager from the menu. It opened, then a long wait .. something about 'status' .. then, gives error:
Unable to connect to the core client

If everything looks good, think it would be best to lock it all up in an iso fille, which can then be salted away and used in the event should everything have to be once more restarted from scratch,
Fair enough. I do not have CD burning hardware, but can probably get the ISO on a thumb drive ... if I can figure out how to mount it. We can embrace this at the time. Thank you. Will await your next instructions.

^ Everything looks good. Add some projects, then give me output of Step 5c (iii). All future manipulations will not truncate any boinc processing that's going on, just only interrupting.

Boinc Manager advanced view. Says 'Disconnected' at the bottom of the window. Click TOOLS/ADD PROJECT OR ACCOUNT MANAGER. 'Disconnected' changes to CONNECTING TO LOCAL HOST and within 2 seconds, back to DISCONNECTED.

Try editing /mnt/sda1/boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg to take out changes=/porteus so that append line looks like this:
Code: Select all
APPEND initrd=initrd.xz fsck timezone=US/Central utc cliexec=boinc~--dir~/mnt/sda1/disk/BOINC~--daemon guiexec=/mnt/sda1/disk/BOINC/boinc_mgr
and reboot.

Did the edit and rebooted. Desktop came up ... but clean ... as in missing files/folders I had saved there. FIREFOX comes up .. with zero extensions installed. Boinc Manager comes up but still stays disconnected.
Here is the EDITED section of porteus.cfg:
Code: Select all
LABEL XFCE
MENU LABEL Graphics mode (XFCE)
KERNEL vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=initrd.xz fsck timezone=US/Central utc cliexec=boinc~--dir~/mnt/sda1/disk/BOINC~--daemon guiexec=/mnt/sda1/disk/BOINC/boinc_mgr
