Hi,
I have installed on my tablet "Bq M10 HD" Ubuntu Touch via SP Flash Tool and a Ubuntu Touch ROM but now
I like to install Porteus, but this tablet cannot boot on USB..so could you give me a solution ?

I have installed porteus on 6 computers (all in one or windows tablet) with no problem.

Thanks a lot and very good distribution for Kiosk!!!
Regards,

USB boot was the reason i insisted among other members for having 'PlOP' integrated as a basic feature of our boot menu. It used to work fine from CD-ROMs and a bootloader as GrUB2 should allow such addition easily enough, since lots of Linux distributions including Ubuntu do depend on it during the installation process and forward as it is... This also implies one doesn't need to take too much risk since it's equally possible to modify GrUB2 configuration so it shall include PlOP quite conveniently, in a way which doesn't threaten to modify other key elements.

Let me gues, ain't that tablet a bit like my hybrid UEFi-ONLY 32-64 bits contraption?
