Thanks
beny. I'm surprised there is no Porteus dir2appx command.

And surprised I can't find documentation on what's in one other than the OS's files themselves. I think there is a files folder but don't know what the format of the lines in it is. There are appx files on Windows' WSL Store, I may have to download one to analyze.
