Re: problem with installation
I've only got two partitions on the second SATA drive: a small swap partition at the start and a 300Gb partition that contains Mandriva which I can boot to.

Re: problem with installation
brokenman, do you mean if the operating system is placed above 137Gb? I was able to boot to the operating system that covered almost the whole 320Gb drive.

Re: problem with installation
My BIOS has no problems with drives above 137Gb.
I used Unetbootin when I successfully installed Porteus on the first SATA drive.

Re: problem with installation
There is something else I should mention. When I installed Porteus on the second SATA it gave me a question, something like "Do I want to overwrite vmlinuz?" Yes to all, Yes or No? Normally I never get this question. I chose 'Yes to all' & I could not boot into Porteus or Mandriva. I then attempted ...

Re: problem with installation
I have already used Unetbootin to successfully do a frugal installation of Porteus on the first drive (inside Mandriva Linux). Grub1 is used.
The Porteus folder is there but fdisk -l gives an error message.

problem with installation
I have a SATA drive (sda) & installed a Linux operating system on my second SATA drive, sdb5. Booting to that operating system I then used Unetbootin to do a frugal installation of Porteus. When I tried to boot to Porteus it gave an error saying there was no hd(1,4) partition.

For the time being you could try the zsh shell, which has been kept up to date & has improvements over bash:

Anyone have LibreOffice 4.0 or earlier?
I downloaded LibreOffice.xzm (4.1 I think it is) from http://dl.porteus.org/i486/current/modules/ but it’s buggy so I’m looking for earlier versions. I’ll accept versions down to 2.2. The problems I encountered were: I can’t print page footers; text after a superscript appear in the same size as the...

Re: requests
donald, "login=user_name" only lets you enable auto-log-in, not to stop it.
, yes, that's what I'm looking for, an intrusion detection system that does what I mentioned.
Another request: in the PSC there should be a button to enter super-user terminal, since you've already typed in your password.
