Porteus

Posted: **23 Nov 2020, 21:58**

Has anyone managed to have an extracted GParted Live and Porteus on a fat32 USB stick?

https://gparted.org/liveusb.php describes how to set it up, but I want to use a Porteus 5.0rc USB stick to also have GParted Live on it.

The zip I downloaded is gparted-live-1.1.0-8-i686.zip - seems the only server which hosts it is quite occupied, it took me a while to download a mere 300 MB file.

This is what is in the zip file:

Or would I have to rename Gparted`s vmlinuz - e.g. to vmlinuz.gparted - and move it into boot/ - or boot/syslinux ?
And also move initrd.img there?

And then use this lingo:

Code: Select all

1.1.0-8 was released on the 21st, I am sure Porteus cannot ship with that version.

But aside from that, do you have suggestions about this:

Why?
Porteus says:

Code: Select all

$ ls /live
/bin/ls: cannot access '/live': No such file or directory

Porteus on USB only uses /boot and /porteus

Also, on a GParted USB boot media it holds GParted's kernel and initrd, maybe it needs that path.
I am also unsure what role the quoted

Code: Select all

# Decide if the commands: linux/initrd (default) or linuxefi/initrdefi
set linux_cmd=linux
set initrd_cmd=initrd

and

Code: Select all

  search --set -f /live/vmlinuz

play.

A valid point, we are talking about the Porteus boot menu not grub2. As such I would put the GParted boot directory in the drive's /boot/ directory as /gparted/ with the GParted vmlinuz and initrd.img in it. Thus the Porteus boot menu will look something like this:

Code: Select all

LABEL GParted
MENU LABEL GParted Live
KERNEL /boot/gparted/vmlinuz
INITRD /boot/gparted/initrd.img
APPEND boot=live union=overlay username=user config components quiet noswap  toram=filesystem.squashfs ip= net.ifnames=0  nosplash  
TEXT HELP

play.

Without seeing more of the GParted USB boot media I'm not sure how it works. The search --set command looks like grub2 command which implies the GParted USB boot media has a grub2 directory for when it is the USB's boot commander which implies installing it on the USB drive puts it in charge of what boots.

Just reviewed your OP's zip file contents. Wow! It even has Windows files. To ADD this to your Porteus USB drive you are going to have to manually select and copy the various files and folders needed to run GParted to the drive. It's going to be tedious imho. And maybe fun.

On the site itself it says:

https://gparted.org/download.php

NOTE: GParted Live is available in three different architectures
Architecture Description
i686 32-bit version runs on x86 and x86-64 based computers, limited to physical address space of 4 gigabytes, and uses one processor only.
If in doubt, try this one first.
i686-PAE 32-bit version runs on x86 (i686 and higher) and x86-64 based computers, with Physical Address Extension to access more than 4 gigabytes of memory, and supports use of multiple processor cores.
amd64 64-bit version runs on x86-64 based computers, with ability to access more than 4 gigabytes of memory, and supports use of multiple processor cores.
For newer (>2010) computers with UEFI instead of legacy BIOS try this one.

(highlighting by me)

I think I will omit all of the Windoze stuff - since GParted Live is a Linux OS. Why would it need Windoze files? Only for setting up a bootable USB media, I presume.

Of course I could go your way and instead create lots of sub-directories and in each a mere initrd.xz and vmlinuz, but I prefer my style.

Posted: **24 Nov 2020, 15:40**

What are you using to boot all the initrd.xzs and vmlinuzs on your hard drive? A Porteus rEFInd menu like the USB drive uses?

To reduce the number of subdirectories on your harddrive, and USB drive, boot ISOs using grub2.

Oh, am I now allowed to try out Tiny Core, or have Puppy as reliable backup system?

And how can I test the Porteus versions if I do not test them?
The development can only go on when people give reports.

that is old news, but guess what, what can be the reason that I prefer to extract the ISOs instead?

Also, it is the hidden Witless7 boot partition, what do I care if it has one or 7 Porteus folders in it. I only use it for booting all my OS anyway.

You referring to an EFI partition? And what are you using to select the boot folders? I use a system called Grub2Win which is installed on my Windows system, it supports ISOs and USB drive systems on EFI and BIOS systems. And I think it can install Grub2 on a USB drive.

BTW While Windows' file managers can't see the boot partition all linux systems can see and manipulate files on it. So it's not as hidden as you may think.

I use NeoGRUB which is just a fancier name for Grub4DOS, but the only available option like a decade ago when I got the 8 core Toshiba notebook and wanted to keep the Witless-7 OS that I paid for but have all the Linux goodness I choose to have. On The Hard Drive So That I Can Boot Them Whenever I Want Without Looking For The USB-drives. Seems I have to spell that out every time for you, ED_P. Le jouissif sigh.

Ed_P, do you think yours truly is a moron? Of course any Linux can see the hidden Boot and Recovery partitions of the more recent SM-Witless-OS.
So, what do you store on your harddisk's hidden (hidden For Witless OS - I have to spell that out as well every time for Ed_P or he misunderstands it once again) Witless Boot or Recovery partitions? Since it seems you have not a single Linux OS on there. Do you put your hidden collection on it instead? Because, you know, "hidden". What a terrible pun that was.

Good luck booting with your harddrive's Puppy app when your hardrive fails.

Your recovery Tiny Core and Puppy systems were the only systems I was referring to when I mentioned having them on USB drives.

I've never heard of NeoGrub but I have used Grub4DOS for a couple of decades and only switched when it couldn't handle EFI systems. And it's where I started booting ISOs. Advantage of booting ISOs, imo, no CD drives needed, no USB drives needed, less disk space, ISO OSs can't be corrupted, renaming boot files not needed.

FWIW My boot drive:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:/mnt/sda1$ cd EFI
guest@porteus:/mnt/sda1/EFI$ ls
Boot/  Microsoft/  a1ive/  boot.backup/  dell/  grub2win/

guest@porteus:/mnt/sda1/EFI$ su
Password: 
root@porteus:/mnt/sda1/EFI# fdisk -l /dev/sda|grep sda1
/dev/sda1        2048    1026047   1024000   500M EFI System
root@porteus:/mnt/sda1/EFI#

As for most of my ISOs on my harddrive:

Code: Select all
