Porteus

Hello, good night

ok, that a very very simple question I'd like to ask since I really can't manage to get it..

Porteus uses the Linux Zen Kernel or not?

thanks....

Hello again :Rose: AFAIK Porteus is the only distro that I have seen in my shot linux life, that bears the feature of booting with 2 de: KDE and LXDE 1) How this is possible? :crazy: :crazy: 2) What is the reason? 3) Are you gonna split porteus in 2 mainstream versions (LXDE and KDE) in the future? ...

mmhhh...it seems an italian project!

Correct. These drivers were removed from the v1.1 of porteus because it as reported that the kernel should now contain all necessary drivers for the broadcom family. As seen this is not always the case, and for this reason Fanthom decided to reinclude the broadcom drivers for the latest Porteus-v1....

ok, as you told of pastebin in this thread heres the paste for my /var/log/wicd/wicd.log : http://pastebin.com/9h3279FM+ porteus 1.1 64bit version :) :) typing wicd-gtk in a terminal windos, then clicking on "Disconnect" button the systems hangs suddenly with no output, I can only 1) Plug off th ac ...

OK, I managed to so solve the wi fi problem! :Yahoo!: :Yahoo!: all I did was to download the broadcom-sta-5.100.82.112_3.1.8_porteus-x86_64-2_SBo.xzm module you posted above, and pui into thhe /porteus/modules/ folder (this time I used an USB stick :D :D ) chose to boot athe lxde flavor, picked the ...

In porteus, asdide from the native slackware's package management (installpkg, updatepkg, etc) are includedo some more CLI tools (es. slapt-get?) and what are, if any, GUI graphical package managers? (es. somethin like synaptic and so on) sorry, they're kinda stupid questions, but you never know... ...

So...what is the default bootloader(s) sed in porteus relases?

And what are the other ones avaiable in the repositories?

ok I will give a try, in the meantime I very beg for your mercy, I have make a huge mistake: I posted here in the 32 bit ibstead of 64 bit forum!!! :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: please can you move this to the proper 64 bit forum section? I thanks oyu standin ...

I booted porteus live but not by an usb stick, I burned it to a cd... this is not a problem. porteus is very flexible in that matter: you can load modules placed in some folder on your hard-drive while booting from CD. you can prepare the folder while being on Windows or Mac or whatever. please cre...

Hello Just wanted to say that despite my wi-fi problems (see here ) when I click on the button "Disconnect" of the Wicd connection manager main window the sistem suddenly hangs at once and there's no way to bring it back to savyness...I could reboot by firin some ctrl+alt+canc burst fire... :D that'...

in the end broadcom suggest to buil and use an hybrid driver, here: this is exactly the driver which i posted above. all what you need to do it to download xzm module (this is archive - same as rar - containing broadcom kernel driver), put to /porteus/modules folder on your usb stick and reboot. if...
