An effort has been done to understand the interesting work of brokenman so to be able to upgrade the original nemesis to a more recent and lean version. Nemesis iso lxde version built on the 6th july of 2016 is less than 290 MB. Upgrading it will add about 700 MB http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=137&t=6459
METHOD A. Upgrading of 000-kernel.xzm of nemesis with porteus 3.2.1 kernel
You will need an installation of nemesis and an installation of porteus 3.2.1
This most recent nemesis 000-kernel.xzm is built with 4.8.11-porteus:

edit ncmprhnsbl,
here's 4.10.8 (compiled by neko)
000-kernel-4.10.8.xzm 45.8mb
vmlinuz 3.2mb
edit ncmprhnsbl 30-Sept-2017,
here's kernel 4.13.3 :
000-kernel-4.13.3.xzm 51.2mb
vmlinuz 3.4mb
1.0 Unpack and backup the nemesis 000-kernel module
Code: Select all
su
toor
cd /path-to-folder-nemesis/porteus/base
mkdir 000-kernel
xzm2dir 000-kernel.xzm 000-kernel
2.0 Replace nemesis kernel module information by some of the porteus 3.2.1 version.
2.1 replace 4.3.3-porteus kernel:
nemesis
/porteus/base/000-kernel/usr/lib/modules/4.3.3-porteus
with
porteus 3.2.1
/base/000-kernel/lib/modules/4.8.11-porteus
2.2 replace firmware:
nemesis
/porteus/base/000-kernel/usr/lib/firmware/
with
porteus 3.2.1
/porteus/base/000-kernel/lib/firmware/
2.3 replace vmlinuz:
nemesis
/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz
with
porteus 3.2.1
/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz
2.4 nemesis xx.sgn file
/porteus/porteus-v3.5-x86_64.sgn
with
porteus 3.2.1
/porteus/porteus-v3.5-x86_64.sgn
3.0 Repack the new nemesis kernel module.
dir2xzm 000-kernel 000-kernel.xzm
Reboot!
METHOD B. Upgrading of 000-kernel.xzm of nemesis to get the most recent kernel
*** TO COME ***
Note: if you have a 32 bit system make changes accordingly, The structure of the modules might be different and the xx.sgn file too. If you have a conflicting porteus 3.2.1 installation use the sgnfile bootloader cheatcode.
Thanks to jack who as readproof this howto and provided suggestions.
