This is what I use. Tip: Build your own Java Oracle module

32bit with EFI!! Wasn't expecting that. Good that you got it figured out.

Normally 32bit systems run on 64bit hardware. 64bit systems will not run on 32bit hardware.

Hardware/software booting problems usually revolve around video drivers, USB drivers and hard drive drivers.

Ed_P why did you omit the Part of the quote donald added in his reply? Did you miss the smilie? I was kidding/teasing/trying to be funny. Typing forum replies via Android sucks. Yes, and yet you keep doing it. :unknown: all what counts is if it works flawlessly, at least as good as in 3.2.2 Anyway,...

I'm just a user and not a developer,
so I don't care about the size of the module.
What is the point of stripping down a module to the bone

A new way to convert MBR to GPT!! And no data lost. Linux is sooo much easier than this windows tool. Remember, talking about a system with files on it and maybe multiple partitions. How would Linux convert it? Gdisk? @n0ctilucient I think they are talking about a symlink on the real file system on...

I use Easy2Boot, which use to be RMPrepUSB.

Cool! Do you have a xzm for this app?

It's a Windows app, just like Rufus. Whether it would run under Wine I don't know.

Check out this RMPrepUSB page: http://rmprepusb.blogspot.com/2014/02/b ... un-it.html

I have heard of Rufus fulalas but never used it. I use Easy2Boot, which use to be RMPrepUSB.

fulalas were you using flash drives? And is the partition on them GPT?

@donald, don't get me wrong, but if in your opinion Porteus 4 has no advantage over 3.2.2, why don't you keep using 3.2.2 instead?

I think he already answered that.

maybe because of fixed security flaws in newer package versions?..

Any security flaws fixed in the 4.0 version?

Yep, and the issues have been reported but were obviously,silently ignored. I suspect overlooked or forgotten rather than ignored. ....and then we got MPV...which is not userfriendly by any means. 1) There is no UI to make/change settings - I would not expect a user to search for and learn the synt...

The only thing that should be needed for a UEFI system is to disable the UEFI Secure Boot option.

I have a 3.2.2 flash drive that boots on my EFI system. The installer should be creating a hybrid MBR and a GPT directory table. I have not tried a 4.0 flash drive install.

I suspect it's pretty much the same as posted here: UEFI Boot Confusion [Solved] All that should be needed is the following: Create your Porteus file online at: build.porteus.org Be sure to select 64bit and the UEFI enabled. Create one single FAT32 partition on the USB Put all the files from the ISO...
