I've downloaded Porteus-KDE-v3.2.2-i586.iso and installed it, but now I want to switch to Porteus XFCE v3.2.2. Do I need to download the entire Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-i586.iso file for this? Or can I just download something like xfce.xzm and that'll suffice? If that's the case, I'd be glad if someone shared the xfce.xzm file for v3.2.2 because I can't find it on the mirrors.
Also, once I have both kde.xzm and xfce.xzm in porteus/base/ directory, how I can choose which desktop I want to boot to during boot up? Thanks in advance!

At boot screen Tab/F2 to edit cmd line. Append noload=003-kde or noload=003-xf , whichever not required.Also, once I have both kde.xzm and xfce.xzm in porteus/base/ directory, how I can choose which desktop I want to boot to during boot up? Thanks in advance!

You can use httpfs2 as rootArif wrote:

Yes. Quicker in the long run. Just a mere 200M.
Code: Select all
su
mkdir /tmp/myiso
httpfs2 http://dl.porteus.org/i586/current/Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-i586.iso /tmp/myiso
mount /tmp/myiso/Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-i586.iso /mnt/loop
Another way is to use my firefox-3.6...-archview module from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gdzuwmrramlv ... kfYbZMrUra that open iso, zip, rar in browser without downloading.
You have mind and feelings. Be wise and clever.
