Re: Show or teach me about ISO booting
The advantage of this approach, IMO, is if you change/install/activate something and it doesn't work you can choose when shutting down to not same the changes. You start the next boot fresh to start over.Jack wrote:I will do this that will help a lot.Code: Select all
set bootparms='from='$isopath' volume=33 reboot=cold extramod=/porteus322/Modules changes=EXIT:/porteus322/Changes'
A tweak I have made to my Grub2Win isoboot code that you may like is I specify the name of the folder where my Linux system's files and folders are only once by setting a variable to the name and then using the variable whenever the folder name is required. In your instance your code could become:
Code: Select all
set iso_folder='/porteus322'
set isopath=$iso_folder/Porteus-MATE-v3.2.2-x86_64.iso
set kernelpath='/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz'
set initrdpath='/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz'
set bootparms='from='$isopath' volume=33 reboot=cold extramod='$iso_folder'/Modules changes=EXIT:'$iso_folder'/Changes'

Re: Show or teach me about ISO booting
I can't believe how better it run this way and a lot better then a USB. I will try this later or when I reboot up.
This way looks a lot cleaner or better to me.
Code: Select all
set iso_folder='/porteus322'
set isopath=$iso_folder/Porteus-MATE-v3.2.2-x86_64.iso
set kernelpath='/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz'
set initrdpath='/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz'
set bootparms='from='$isopath' volume=33 reboot=cold extramod='$iso_folder'/Modules changes=EXIT:'$iso_folder'/Changes'
I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

Oh no! I meant you that should do the honours, while all's fresh in mind, and that's the best time! 8)Ed_P wrote:Thank you Bogomips. Let me know when you're done and I will review it.Bogomips wrote:So now Ed_P the time has come the walrus said ... to make a nice tutorial out of all this!

Re: Show or teach me about ISO booting
Well I have both Porteus 64bit Mate v3.2.2 and v3.2rc5 setup in Grub2Win.
1. Windows 7 64bit.
2. v3.2.2 the one for me that boot up slow.
3. v3.2rc5 the one for me that boot up fast.
