Porteus-v5.01 bug reports
1 Not a bug report per se.
I cannot find the link to the mirrors in the port main page. ( http://porteus.org/ )
I had to go back to the original post about Porteus-v5.0 is released! - only in there I found the mirror links- aka http://porteus.org/porteus-mirrors.html
And I knew it was somewhere in an older post. Newbies to Port might not be that understanding or willing to look for it.
In my book, that link should be restored to the main page and be put in every Announcements post when it is about files to be found on mirrors.
Or does the main page now need JavaScript enabled to show the mirrors link?
2 Anyhow, why are the most crucial updates - e.g. 001-* and 003-* only given a md5sum check file ( "updates.txt") , while the other files that are less crucial have the much more reliable sha256 checksums provided ( "sha256sums.txt" ) ?

Hmmm..
The 5.01 64bit isos 06-Mar-2024 do not work as live-CD in my V-box
-- I get the boot-options-menu, then nothing.
but 5.01 32bit isos same date 06-Mar-2024 { kernel 6.6.20 ] are OK.
also 64bit 5.01 isos from 03-Oct-2023 do work.

the dropdown menu links the the release announcement (although it needs to be updated to 5.01) which has the mirrors link .. the big 'download it' just links to the announcements area..
the updates are meant to accessed via the updater in the settings centre.
because somebody hasn't got around to changing the updater script for that
hmm, they works here in my vbox.

I prefer to download it manually since I do want to keep the recent files as backup.ncmprhnsbl wrote: ↑26 Apr 2024, 05:22the updates are meant to accessed via the updater in the settings centre.

I believe the Settings Centre's Updater downloads any updates to the /tmp folder and then either reminds the user to copy them to the /porteus/base/ folder or asks the user if he/she wants it to copy them to the /porteus/base/ folder. Either way, the user has the opportunity to backup/rename files before the update is actually installed.
Try it.

@ ncmprhnsbl
Yep, the new 64bit isos work in a slightly newer version of vbox.
But why is that?
It is clearly the new vmlinuz file in the new 64bit isos.
so what has changed between 5.01 03-Oct-2023 and 5.01 06-Mar-2024 64bit vmlinuz..
...compression mode??
The kernel version 6.6.20 is not the problem -- work in a 32bit iso.
