You will have to configure or build a kernel with the following special option:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/namespaces.7.html
Use of IPC namespaces requires a kernel that is configured with the CONFIG_IPC_NS option.

I am not the specialist of the kernel. However, here is how to do it for porteus.

Please start a new thread titled something like:
Configure porteus kernel with the CONFIG_IPC_NS option

You will surely have interested followers and helpers. Many forum user have went thru some kernel compilation.

You can replace the kernel of your Porteus ISO easy.

The following version kernel packages were built with the configuration "CONFIG_IPC_NS=y".

v4.1.39.tar.xz
v4.4.56.tar.xz
v4.9.17.tar.xz
v4.10.5.tar.xz
v4.11-rc3.tar.xz

Please choice a kernel version.
Then, download mkKernel-17.03.14-noarch-1.xzm and it.

There are these files in http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... 1a5#p52232


For example, v4.9.17.tar.xz;

Code: Select all

% su
# ls -1
mkKernel-17.03.14-noarch-1.xzm
v4.9.17.tar.xz
# mkdir work
# cd work
xz -dc ../v4.9.17.tar.xz |tar -x
# activate ../mkKernel-17.03.14-noarch-1.xzm
# guimkKernel
<setting window>
"Kernel Builder directory":...........work
"Kernel Version":.....................4.9.17
"ISO whose kernel will be update":....your Porteus ISO
Push "OK"


Thanks.
