Porteus

Hi i am Lukas and i am relatively new to Porteus, i use it for few months, linux more longer. I like Porteus, for its modularize system.

I use Porteus on NTFS partition on classic disc with 4GB porteus4k.dat posix dat container
i want know: its good put Porteus to NTFS partition but on SSD disc, are there available for NTFS features like trim and noatime

My second question is about aplications are there some sites with modules for porteus maybe some user created.

lot of thanks.

Hello Lukas.

Within Porteus is an app named USM. Start it, click on the menu's Update option then click on Update USM followed by Update All. This will get you the current database of all the apps available for your system. Once the updates are finished, exit USM then restart it. Then in the Search box enter the name of an app you are interested in and click on the Search button.

Have fun.

@bogomips:
the gen?
Please define.

ssd optimisation, would be needed only if you go for allocating a part of you ssd to a linux filesystem:

how porteus manage a multiple modules is posible to have etc. openbox and fluxbox module together loaded when they contains similar software? (openbox and fluxbox modules searched and find in this forum),

some time i use slackware there is not very hard to create new package like
1 unpack package somewhere
2 autogen and ./configure --prefix=/usr
3 mkdir /tmp/pkg/pkgname
4 make install --prefix=/tmp/pkg/pkgname
5 and go to /tmp/pkg/pkgname and generate with makepkg this package

its posible to generate packages hand without usm and create custom modules self? is there some handbook how to create porteus app? thanks

yes, and pls sorry for my bad english


to porteus i want say i like openbox and fluxbox wm , where fluxbox i like more. i thind this two modules but fluxbox doesnt have MPlayer precompiled in flux module, openbox have, thats is reason why i ask how to recreate flux module with MPplayer maybe with gnome-mplayer too but GMPl.. needs i think more packages like maybe gtkmm and so

great i see its posible to do this configuration

put fat32 fs on my Sandisk 8GB usb key with whole Porteus with modules and
changes + data put on SSD disk whole formated with one partition SDA1 to Ext4 and do features like noatime dirent for trim

all with changes=/dev/sda1

how do i make changes for /etc/fstab ??? i see this config is updated in Porteus every times when Porteus boot... i need put noatime, dirent to fstab thanks
