Trying to install on an HP Stream laptop, with secure boot disabled but there is a problem with the installation script(s):
The gui installer fails to spot any mounted partitions, and even after deleting and re-creating with the partition manager it still fails. I therefore resorted to doing it manually by opening a shell, mounting the partition and copying the contents of the boot CD then going into /mnt/boot and running 'Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com'
It fails with an error '2', and here is the debug output:

Thanks for the cool distro!
