For me, the result of following that instruction was: -- no changes saved i guess you never meet required condition: While you are running a session with changes=EXIT, you can use the 'dump-session' command To clarify/expand what I posted earlier, here's the scenario file successfully created: /mnt...

I think there's an ongoing bug regarding save file creation. booted fat32 pendrive (first run) chose "graphical mode" menu entry boot msg bright yellow instructs "use porteus save file manager" ^---v launch Savefile manager and click "i want to create a new savefile" (create) Must choose a path by b...

I don't expect "perfect", just a solid base. Already posted regarding how I see/compare puppy and porteus (because someone posted to ask). I would not copy/paste that here. To gather material for your review (overview?), walk the subforums and take note of which recent (post v3 release) discussion t...

Do you intend to now redirect traffic from .tk domain and serve pages from the .org address instead? I was surprised (impressed) by how many ready-for-v3.0 modules you already had onhand when the realease was announced. Went there looking for bleachbit. As I recall, only a module for v2.1 was availa...

To filter out press releases and other noise, I've used this google search query (along with filter date range: past month): -prepackaged -news -candidate -facts -overjoyed -standalone porteus linux -site:porteus.org -site:distrowatch.com -site:softpedia.com The "over a pint" podcast from http://lin...

Ed, it sounds like you should take your medication and go lay down :crazy: Your post reminded me that I've also lost track of a thread here. Someone asked about preferred programming languages nowadays... ...and the posts discussed CVS versioning (version control) and IDEs. As I recall, the OP menti...

terus, check out this thread: [Porteus-LXDE] UI-Productivity-SuperPack.Updated Jan 11,2014 http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=2883 I'm a fluxbox fan, but I expect modifying the the autobuilder to accommodate a "another window manager/DE" would not be accomplished easily. Also, who among t...

@Ed, re: "cleanup" fanthom was quoting my post, and I was speaking hypothetically (vs literally referring to an existing "cleanup" command) we have something along these lines already: changes=EXIT: cheatcode plus edit /etc/changes-exit.conf Sigh. We're in a suggestions thread. "cheatcode plus edit ...

In general, we're probably expected to create a keybind to call up the charmap.
Each of the various desktop environments typically has a component / widget / tray-thingie for it, or exposes it via a rootmenu entry (check "accessories" category in your DE's rootmenu)

(mounting and) pruning an already existing savefile would be the wrong approach, eh. Building a list of ignored/excluded paths and performing (scripted) housecleaning prior to updating the savefile, is a good approach... but deciding what to exclude or not, by default, is a tough call. Each user pro...

Quoting a discussion thread from last year which grew to 6 pages, turned ugly, and got locked: If you start porteus the first time from a FAT-fs you get a bright-yellow-message at bootup: "A Windows filesystem (FAT,NTFS) or other non-posix compatible filesystem has been detected on /porteus.Your cha...

Under debian, the package management mechanism includes a hook to call updatedb. In Porteus, without such a hook... as is, user will need to remember to call updatedb manually. Also, for use within a live session context, might be advisable to --exclude several paths within updatedb.conf (if so, the...
