Porteus

Porteus 2.1 here working with a heavily modified KDE desktop.

My make_iso ISO only boot to stock Porteus in guest or root. No changes show.

Working with USB drive I can simply copy the USB from one to another USB and that works. In IMGburn I can create an ISO out of those same files and then burn that image to CD and that will not work.

What is it about the ISO creation and/or burning is causing my system to fail? I must be missing something but I am looking for another opinion/brain to give me some ideas.

Using a 200MB .dat file for changes which works on different machines from a USB.


Thanks

Edit: I solved my problem by using "Save Session as Module" in Porteus Settings Center. In fact I believe I can remove my 200MB save.dat entirely!

Iso images or CD disks are not writeable in simple way like hard drives. Rename changes.dat to changes.dat.xzm and move to modules or optional folder.

Thanks. I edited the post above to "solved". I just saved the session as module and it did what I needed.
