How to Enable JAVA ?? - KIOSK 2.1 EDITION

Post#1 by patx » 22 Aug 2013, 13:48

Hello to all and thankx for you help...

I am a new Porteus user and i would like to add JAVA plugin to Firefox on the 2.1 KIOSK edition. From what i can understand i have mount the ISO file, copy the jre-7u25-i586-1.xzm module i found on the net into /porteus/modules folder and run ./make_iso.sh from the /porteus directory but this does not work for me.

Code: Select all

jack@patx-laptop:~/porteus/porteus$ ./make_iso.sh
Target ISO file name [ Hit enter for /home/jack/porteus.iso ]: 
./make_iso.sh: ligne 28: /tmp/selfgz11704/bin/mkisofs: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

jack@patx-laptop:~/porteus/porteus$ sudo ./make_iso.sh
[sudo] password for jack: 
Target ISO file name [ Hit enter for /home/jack/porteus.iso ]: 
./make_iso.sh: ligne 28: /tmp/selfgz11704/bin/mkisofs: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
jack@patx-laptop:~/porteus/porteus$ 
What am i doing wrong ??

OK never mind... i looked at the make_iso.sh file and saw that it was wrong, then looked at make_iso.sh-org that seemed OK, ran it and it worked...
