Porteus

The only issue is that USM is not working... so I can not install it...

Done! But... root@porteus:/home/guest# usm -u all Starting alien database update Downloading: vercheck.txt DONE Downloading: CHECKSUMS.md5.gz DONE Downloading: MANIFEST.bz2 DONE Downloading: PACKAGES.TXT.gz DONE Downloading: LIBS.TXT.gz DONE File verification was good.

No, it wasn't, but I decompressed it and it wasn't the same one that I just received from Ed_P!!!

So I access to /var/usm/ponce/ and I can see the gz files uncompressed. ...

Ok, until the community fix it, I will try to be more practical. Is there any way to install any package offline? I mean, if I just download the Porteus packages from the server to my computer, I add it to /mnt/sdb1/porteus/modules/, can I call the modules I need in order to load them? I mean, if I ...

I'm seeing that i'm loosing some time on Porteus and I can't advance at all.
Can anyone of you recommend me a Live Linux Distribution as fast, fresh and reliable as Porteus?
(And please, nothing related with Ubuntu family, as I'm leaving it)

Thank you!!

I'm using my profile with a save.dat file. Is it needed to update on always fresh mode? I have tried as root user, in always fresh mode and as guest with my profile mode... and always the same issue.
