I downloaded Porteus and flashed it onto a USB Flashdrive and booted the system.
I am very disappointed with it because i run stuck immediately.
WHY on earth does a live system have a password ?
It is not necessary there is no need for it what so ever.
This OS is complete crap because you can not add software packages.
I tried to add python3 (which should be on board but it's not) and i have to enter a password.
Don't tell me the password is this or that, the sheer inconvenience of it being there, for no reason, renders this OS utterly useless.
I haven't seen this before and normally i would not take the time to register on a forum and click email links to activate this account but.
WHY WHY is there a password ? a LIVE system should NOT have any password what so ever.
Please remove it and add Python3.
If not this project should die and fade into darkness because a LIVE system should not be password protected, PERIOD.

Thanks for your strong opinion Linus. I appreciate that you feel strongly about this point or you wouldn' have taken the time to register and post. I approved your post because I believe in free speech, but i have to say I disagree with you.
Porteus can most certainly work without having to enter a password as you wish. Other people prefer a user account with a password. It caters for a variety of users. Your opinion is valid but I think it is very narrow.
It would have taken less time and energy to just read the cheat code file and boot without a password wouldn't it?

Hi, Linus!
I see you are new to Porteus. You must learn how to use it before you disqualify it.
I myself never type a password, as you are wishing...Find and edit /boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg and add the cheatcode login=root to the run mode of your preference....My advice: keep reacting like that if you want to die young on a heart infarctus....
Live well!

Porteus is proud of the FASTEST KDE ever made.....(take akonadi, nepomuk and soprano out and you will have a decent OS).
