`xzm2dir` does not work

`xzm2dir` script does not unpack xzm's, no matter how many arguments provided. Had to manually execute `unsquashfs`, which worked fine. I'm a Linux newbie, didn't see any errors in script. Porteus 5.01.

To be clear bytie, doing that requires the Porteus menu's Admin > Porteus Settings Centre > Porteus Update function. :)

Based on this Porteus-v5.01 bug reports maybe better to wait on the ISO updates. :happy62:
