Porteus

@beny:
Thanks for the follow-up. I am attracted to Aporteus. Will surely do at some point. Porteus 4.2 is quite stable for my use. And I might try nemesis too. I like the speed of nemesis.

@Ed:
Donald's trick is the solution for me.

Thanks.

Donald you save my life! What is your address? I will send you some goodies from the Québec industrial complex.

And naturally it works.

Hello raja, I have followed the development of debiandog. You seem to have done it too. You see a lot more possibilities than I do. Thanks for the tip. Have you seen tome's ubuntu version of porteus? Quick Ubuntu based Porteus (x64) - UPortabilizer ;) According to tome and to brokenman, it would be...

I understand that copy2ram will boost a system speed, the main disadvantage being the llonger time needed to boot into RAM. Some distributions like debian do not have a copy2ram option. Is there a turnaround. For example, while I would be happy to provide an openplotter porteus adaptation of this ma...

Anyone has some bundles for slpkg for porteus version 4.0 and 5.0? It would be real handy. It seems that I have it all wrong. root@porteus:~# slpkg update Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/slpkg", line 35, in <module> from slpkg.main import main ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '...

@beny: There must be a way to remove slacky from the code. Isn´t it? I have looked the error messages and they are not present in the /usr/bin/usm script file. It must call some other scripts. root@porteus:~# usm -u slackonly grep: /etc/usm/mirrors-slacky.txt: No such file or directory Starting slac...

Hello raja. I did it this way because the http://slackware.org.uk/slacky would not work. It would freeze. root@porteus:~# usm -u all slackware was updated 83 seconds ago. Skipping. slackwarepatches was updated 73 seconds ago. Skipping. Starting slacky database update Downloading: vercheck.txt DONE D...

I git this output error: Starting slacky database update Downloading: CHECKSUMS.md5.gz DONE Downloading: MANIFEST.bz2 DONE Downloading: PACKAGES.TXT.gz DONE Downloading: LIBS.TXT.gz DONE gzip: /var/usm/slacky/CHECKSUMS.md5.gz: unexpected end of file ==================================================...

@nanzor:
Very nice to acknowledge that we have a pi connaisseur. This could be quite useful.

Some diversion here! Do both of you own raspberry pi linux boxes?

I am not surprised at all. Great catch!

Maybe experienced user could go and comment the last review that was posted on distrowatch:

Cheers!

@minions: Maybe you could have a look at a porteus lover thread: Donated after day two of honeymoon Porteus might simply be not for you. Though I am usually very nice with newcomers on this forum, I really don't feel like it when I read your comments. Read the reviews on distrowatch, you might recon...

I second all these compliments to the dev teams.

You should introduce your installation on kodi forums. I am sure this would be a hit. The speed of nemesis makes it a great contender to host kodi. Don't you think? :) I would be frankly very happy that nemesis could clone into all sorts of flavor. This basic artic-archlinux distribution is very fas...

Ahhhh! Right! I read so fast. This is diagonal reading on only five lines. Or maybe, I am due for the optometrist. Before coming to slax, I was a mepis follower, antix being a light version of mepis or its descendant, isn't? Nonetheles, my idea is not so bad about nemesis being brought up to a live ...
