Revisiting Porteus

I am revisiting Porteus after many months. I was most impressed with its speed of booting but disappointed at the available browsers not being up to date. If I download Porteus again from the site that allows me to select various Porteus options will it be any different from the one I downloaded in June? Are the browsers still old rather than recently upgraded

Update to rc5 (See announcements), and use the update scripts. e.g. As superuser

Code: Select all

update-firefox
etc.

I have done this with the previous release but don't understand why recent browsers cannot be included in the pick and mix Porteus download.

Porteus update-browser is a feature of porteus 3.2 slackware. Thus responding to the need you express. :)
