Stuck on Install

Post#1 by Rydmasm » 13 Aug 2015, 20:15

Good Afternoon,
I am in the process of installing Porteus-Kiosk. I configure my network settings (no proxy) and finish. I then get the following message:

"Updated Porteus Kiosk is available for download from http://porteus-kiosk.org/download.html.
For security reasons it's recommended to use latest version of the system when performing kiosk installation. (click on this message to dismiss)"

After that, it just hangs, and never continues. I know the internet connection is fine, and I downloaded the most recent version (3.4) from the download link. Tried re-downloading the iso, and installed it onto a different USB device, but still the same issue.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello Rydmasm,

Please test your ISO in VirtualBox - i'm 100% sure it will work.

I can bet there is an older kiosk installation somewhere and system is booting from it. Which version is reported when system copies modules to RAM?
Please wipe older kiosk installations (reformat devices) and try again.

Or maybe your firewall/proxy blocks downloads from porteus-kiosk.org?
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
