Re: WINE installation
@davecoventry please have a look on README file in /extras which explains wine issue on 64bits quite well: http://dl.porteus.org/x86_64/current/extras/README.txt @sancho this is in fact 32bit wine so should work ok with 32bits (despite of x86_64 label). if not then please grab it from PPM -> alien ...

WINE installation
Is there a WINE xzm module? I don't see one in the Porteus Package manager, although it appears in the Repository. I've used the module from here: https://disk.yandex.com/public/?hash=Kq1mdieD5WSbi3rYy%2BTWx1w%2BRqgZIGGfx4t4wOF9ZL4%3D But can't run wine: guest@porteus:~$ wine bash: /usr/bin/wine: No...

Re: Booting from lilo
@davecoventry you are missing '=' in the append line. also - please do not put extra spaces into 'from=' cheatcode as it wont work. also2 - from the lilo config you provided i see that Porteus is unpacked to a subfolder named 'porteus'. your 'from=' cheatcode should look exactly like here: append =...

Re: Booting from lilo
Yes, I understand that: I've used Slax for a few years and understand how it operates. I have already added the append line to /etc/lilo.conf, but running /sbin/lilo -v produces this error: Value expected for 'append' at or above line 92 in file '/etc/lilo.conf' image = /porteus/boot/syslinux/vmlinu...

Re: Booting from lilo
I really don't understand why you couldn't just point me to the relevant documentation I believe he did. His post says 'our forum header' which means on the front page at the very top. There is a link there to documentation and FAQ's. Check out the cheatcodes link. This is a super valuable document...

Re: Booting from lilo
To be honest, I had already read the cheatcodes before and I'm largely familiar with most of them, as I had previously installed Slax. I found this section, which is presumably what fanthom was referring to: from=/dev/device from=/path/folder from=/path/porteus.iso ... Loads Porteus from the specifi...

Re: Booting from lilo
I really don't understand why you couldn't just point me to the relevant documentation rather than saying RTFM. I have been using linux in one form or another since the mid-nineties and I have a lot of experience with various distros including Gentoo and Arch Linux and have even used Slax quite a lo...
