So, I presume when I try running the blender module on this "current(unreleased) development porteus" (which was called "pre-rc2") blender would fail?

yes
at some point, i imagine they'll base their builds on python3.8..

I presume your script includes python in the module when the system lacks python? not exactly, at the moment it takes a sledgehammer approach and works by determing by porteus version. ie.if 4.0 no python3 and if 5.0 python3 is there.. it would be better to test for python(presence and version) dir...

1.shouldn't need X11 for text mode, you can run with just 000-kernel and 001-core(but 002-xorg does have some useful packages) 2.DE packages are in 003-*.xzm not 002-xorg.xzm(though there are some basic gui packages) what's useful/unnecessary or not depends on what you want to do in text mode.. eg. ...

hi, welcome to porteus forum :). yeah, xrandr won't work outside of an X session.. don't know for sure, but you could try adding fbcon=rotate:1 (to rotate 90°) to the boot line(press TAB at the boot screen and add it, or add to the APPEND line of <media>/boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg) assuming porteus' ...

Why is a download tool insisting it needs to be run as root?

by the looks of it, it was attempting to install zenity itself .. and failing.

i would try the module offered by Acnapyxob first and see how that goes.

it's build it yourself, i'm afraid:

2. If I try to Boot from the first hd it jumps again to the first option 1. Graphics Mode that boots the ISO from CD i'm not sure i understand this.. the "Boot from the first hd" option is usually for: if you have porteus on a usb drive, you are booting the OS that is on the HD of machine you're us...

do you see a process called "core" . because that's what starts when you run 'warsaw start'
also, i tested with an older python3 ..which probly shouldn't matter..

hi beny, i don't think that's a problem .. that systemd service file is just a startup script, similar to slackware rc files.. it's quite ok to start it manually when you want it, better actually, for less overhead(btw nemesis doesn't have systemd, that's nekos aporteus) there is also an autostart ....

Followed the instructions and successfully converted binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.txz to binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.xzm.
