Porteus

Thank you fella's, for your kind reply's to my problem. This is still the most polite and respectfully responsive distro/forum since the birth of the PC.

Thanks for your recommendation jssouza, I downloaded Porteus-XFCE-v4.0-i586.iso from the UK Kent mirror site yesterday. The md5sum matched. Size is 273.4 MiB. I successfully made a bootable Porteus flash drive. However, the boot-splash screen states "Porteus-4.0 64bit". Also it doesn't load properly...

I suddenly need a 32 bit version of Porteus and would really appreciate someone here letting me know which is the most recent edition.

Thanks,

Sean

Happy New Year to Porteus, "brokenman", other developers, all contributors and users! The most considerate, polite, and understanding help network in all of cyberspace.

I remembered hearing to always ...

Thank you "brokenman" for those instructions, and yes, as has been claimed here by others, you are a genius, al biet a very humble genius, and that's even better !

Back to this old thing. I've been to the facility twice this week and will be going again tomorrow. The box is running Windows XP Professional and I was able to finally login to Windows. Yesterday I took a stack of Linux Live CD's and 2 Porteus flash drives. There is an interrupt exception somewhere...

@jeff4892,

The application using the USB webcam should have a setting to choose from. Such as:

/dev/video0 (which should be the built-in camera)
or
/dev/video1 (which should be the USB camera).

Hello Porteus friends, Obviously this is not a popular thread, however, I thought I'd include a little more info, sorry for not including the 16.04 LTS Ubuntu stats from April of this year. But here is some current one day info concerning the new 16.04.01 LTS Upgrade for some popular Ubuntu flavors....

@Jack,

I bought my used copy at a Linux Users Group meeting several years ago, forget what I paid. Just now checked Amazon and they have new and used copies for sale, $42 dollars US. Didn't see any mention of .pdf availability.

Friends, If you are new to Linux, as I seem to remain :-), check this out............ Several years ago I discovered "Harley Hahn", his website, and especially his book "Harley Hahn's Guide to Unix and Linux". This is kind of a "fall back to" book for me. He gives an excellent history of Unix and ta...

Apologies Jack,

No ill intent on my part, now and then I just get lucky :-)
