You can do

cp slackware64-current-install-dvd.iso /dev/sdX

and it will create a bootable USB just like with 'dd'.

good to know, thank you

here you go: flburn-0.0.3-x86_64-1_ncm.xzm 48kb
requires fltk, libburn (libisofs should already be installed)
the SlackBuild is included in /usr/doc/flburn-0.0.3 to see the compile/packaging process
(havn't tested it's burning abilities)

afaiui, most(if not all) of the infinality patches have been merged into standard fontconfig..(and the infinality project ceased) here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration#Byte-Code_Interpreter_.28BCI.29 you'll see: truetype:interpreter-version=38 ("Infinality" subpixel mode), me...

the easiest approach would be via the <USBStick>/config/cheatcodes file, in particular this section: ### Enter the path to your changes file/folder below.

just tried to make xsp on my full arch install, and it fails with the same errors.. so something is broken, probably the PKGBUILD..
possibly it's just out of date .. last realease of xsp(3 days ago) is 4.5 https://github.com/mono/xsp/releases
the PKGBUILD is at 4.4..

For building xsp I need fsharp + monodevelop-stable xsp should only require mono and sqlite: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xsp/ monodevel-stable requires these: 'mono' 'mono-addins>=0.6.2' 'gtk-sharp-2' 'fsharp' 'libssh2' 'curl' 'msbuild-stable' and optionally xsp https://aur.archlinux.org/pac...

these are AUR packages(not actually packages but PKGBUILDs like SlackBuilds)
you'll need the devel.xzm , then pman should work. (i moved all AUR functionality to devel(pacaur,git) to save some size in core.
note that i haven't updated devel.xzm, so there may be some out of date pkgs/headers in it)

How are they better than google.com?

i guess they are not blocked by the (in)famous chinese "Great FireWall" (in mainland china)

google-chrome (youtube) doesn't have a sound. (missing something basically). i have sound with chromium(which shouldn't be much different to chrome) these are the deps for chromium: [porteus guest]# pacman -S chromium resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... Packages (6) libxsl...

here's my openbox based module, updated for porteus 4.0, if anybody feels like trying it.

ok, i misread Ravas post.. and you're right Ed, the script will download the desired arch.. i would guess that setarch is very much dependent on what the hardware is.. ie if it's a i686 64bit capable processor it will allow i686 or x86_64 (maybe others) but if the processor is not 64 bit capable the...

If not why not use the cp command?

i'd say the difference is :
if you copy(cp) an iso to a usb, you have a partition with an iso on it (which then needs some sort of bootloader to boot)
with dd, the partition is the iso (which, if the iso is bootable, will boot)(and this is why it's read only)
