@Ed_P, PorteuX is now booting via grub.

What do I have to change/download to do it?

I assume it's an updated initrd file, can you post it here for me to test?

@Ed_P, in order to use a desktop environment from Porteus 5 you need the compatibility module, as described in the readme on Github page. I recommend reading the documentation on the Github page.

In reading that page I read:

readme on Github page wrote:PorteuX can be built in a live session of Slackware 64-bit, Porteus 64-bit or PorteuX 64-bit.

I have a Porteus 64-bit system, where do I find the createModule.sh script?

Oh, no. You're being limited by Cinnamon's compositor

the createModule.sh script

I think I misinterpreted the function of createModule.sh. I was thinking it downloaded the files in each base module and then built them into a module. In hindsight I think it just makes modules with whatever the user has installed.

Is this interpretation of the grub boot fix accurate? Having it tested by others before rebuilding all the ISOs would be a useful approach.

Added in 2 hours 48 minutes 20 seconds:
Maybe the grub boot fix could be something someone could download in the PorteuX App Store.

Less work than rebuilding all the ISOs.

In fact probably a good approach for many early fixes.

I found a way to boot the PorteuX porteux-v0.1-xfce-4.18-x86_64.iso without using a USB drive.

I copied the ISO's porteux and boot folders to my D: drive and tweaked a grub2 menu to boot PorteuX Xfce.

I then tried to put the porteux and boot folders into a folder on the D: drive that I created named porteuxtest. That approach failed to boot due to the PorteuX from= cheatcode not working.

I also encountered errors when I ran the Porteus SysSnapshot.sh script.

PorteuX doesn't support /home/guest/*.desktop files that I copied from my Porteus 5.0 system's Cinnamon DE.
