Porteus

I have installed Porteus-KDE-v5.0-x86_64.iso with Etcher in a usb, then booted it in Graphics Mode . Every time I run porteus installer and try to install it with bootloader in ext4 partition/dev/sda5, there is a message shown in Konsole that Afterwords it does not boot and no bootloader was in installed. Only the files were copied by the Porteus Installer to /dev/sda5.

Hello Juhayer Al Wasif. Did you review the notes in the ISO's USB_INSTALLATION.txt file?

Just read, should I go for EFI method or BIOS method, if I have UEFI

EFI

I use USB drives 32 GB, or smaller, and format the whole drive as FAT32, copy all the ISO folders and files to the drive then run the Porteus-installer for the system I am running.

do I need to add this line "from=/mnt/sdb2" to the to the porteus-v4.0-x86_64.cfg file?

Ok, I have tried to install it in my hard disk but everytime I am getting error code 2

No.

What OS are you running the install from? I seem to remember getting the code 2 error when I installed 5.0 to a new USB drive but when I reran it it worked. I think I was running it from a bash script I use to copy the files and etc in Porteus but when I simply clicked on the install app in a terminal window it worked. The install app was the one on the USB drive.

How are you trying to boot the USB drive, using grub2 or the machine's boot options? Do you have the machine's Secure Boot option disabled?
