Hi,
Follow the porteus links to download I only found a lxde.xzm single module, if I want to extramod with mate.xzm or kde.xzm where are they or it is possible to do it?

Hi
add the other desktops to your current build and swap between them
...some years ago I use to do that , that is why I was asking if is still possible because I only see the 003-lxde.xzm single module.
Thanks.

Extramod cheatcode still works. It is just that the other desktop have not been packaged individually.

normalGuy,
Bogomips's script doesn't download the full iso file, it reads it on the server!! Only the 003 file gets downloaded.

Hi Ed_p
Maybe I'm confused, just confirm:
x3wget:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
dayset(){
dtp=(cinnamon kde mate xfce);
day[${dtp[0]}]=${dtp[0]}; day[${dtp[1]}]=${dtp[1]}5
day[${dtp[2]}]=${dtp[2]}; day[${dtp[3]}]=${dtp[3]}4
}
chkid(){
# Convert to Lower Case
id=${1,,}; id=${id/kde5/kde}; id=${id/xfce4/xfce};
[[ ${day[$id]} ]] && return 0;
echo Desktop must be one of:; printf "%s\n" ${!day[*]};
return 1;
}
x3(){
[[ $1 ]] || { echo Usage: "<Desktop> <ISO File> [<Target Directory>]"; return; }
unset day; declare -A day;
dayset; chkid $1 || return $?;
bsdtar xf $2 --strip-components 2 -C ${3:-.} porteus/base/003-${day[$id]}.xzm
ls -lh ${3:-.}/003-${day[$id]}.xzm
}
x3wget(){
[[ $1 ]] || { echo Usage: "<Desktop> [<Target Directory>]"; return; }
unset day; declare -A day;
dayset; chkid $1 || return $?;
# Mirror Mirror ...
fm=$(yes n | fastest-mirror 2>&1 | grep -A 2 Results: | tail -n1)
a=$(uname -m); a=${a/i6/i5}
iso=Porteus-${id^^}-v3.2.2-${a}.iso
url=${fm:6}$a/Porteus-v3.2.2/$iso
echo This will take some time . . . ; echo
wget -nv -O /tmp/$iso $url
x3 $id /tmp/$iso $2
echo Downloaded file $iso is also accessible in /tmp.
}
x3wget $*
Use of it:
It's possible to show the number or progressbar of the amount downloaded?

Yup.
Yup.
Actually if you save the script to your Home folder and make it executable:
Or if not made executable:

Nope.
At least not the last time I tested it.
viewtopic.php?f=140&t=6678&p=53242#p53242 And actually I don't think doing that is possible unfortunately. The script does indicate when it is finished with the download.

As you are not a novice, I'll explain what I do, and then you can take your pick. The script with function
x3get will Extract the 003 module from the ISO file over the internet:
- Save script in a file of your choice
- In terminal su (toor) to run as Root
- Source the file and invoke the function:
Code: Select all
source /Path/to/<Script extracting 003 module from ISO file>
x3get <desktop> [<Folder for downloaded module>]
- Upon sourcing the file, you will get usage iinformation like that already given.
OR
- Copy Script & Paste into Root Terminal
Code: Select all
x3get <desktop> [<Folder for downloaded module>]
Enjoy!

@bogomips
Thanks!
My wifi - realtek - has been on / off for awhile and I had to edit the wpa_suplicant.conf and it looks better now (knock on wood!!!) that's why I wanted to try other DE to test if it was only a xfce4 problem.
Great job!! Another Porteus goodie 8)
