You should include what systemd you are running that has the obsolete egrep in your title.

PorteuX cfg file couldn't be found in /home/boot/syslinux

Porteux ISO's system's cfg file is in /boot/syslinux/ not /home/boot/syslinux

OK dude, not every instruction does it, this is not true!

The simplest way to do that is copying the ISO content to your media
storage and running the installer, which will just make the media
bootable (instructions below), not touching or removing your existing data.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| From Linux: |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Navigate into the /boot folder that you have just copied.
2) From the terminal, run 'porteux-installer-for-linux.run' and follow
the instructions.

I finally had to do the mix/alchemy, again in "/porteus/base/*xzm", for running the bluetooth!

[Ed_P]

The simplest way to do that is copying the ISO content to your media
storage and running the installer,

This is true but "media storage" refers to the drive you intend to boot not your porteux /home/ folder (even if that's what you want to do).

[SEMERENDO.cr]

It doesn't work on any partition (sdb4/xfs - sda3/ext4) or any type of file. This so-called GUI-less installation is a whim as absurd as the supposed theory of evolution; as if it were a "unique and unrepeatable event".

Obviously they are not.

/media/hitachi2/boot/syslinux

Please post the output of a "ls -honR /media/hitachi2/" command for your drive.

A GParted window image of it would be useful also.

For me, and my Windows 11 EFI machine, I use the steps in this script:

##  Use GParted's View > Device Information to check Partition Table type.        ##

## Or under Windows use:                                                          ##

Hello, World!... OK OK, If I can install Porteus anywhere using the GUI and without changing the partition table, why on earth would I do it with its Porteux variant?

Are you saying the install problems you are reporting are the result of you using Porteux install GUI?

[SEMERENDO.cr]

On the contrary, why doesn't Porteux come with an installer?...

Interesting! I've never run the Install APP. It looks impressive. I've always just done the steps manually or with my bash script, which you're welcome to try.

As for the Install App, try copying the Porteus /opt/porteus-scripts/pinstaller file over to a Porteux /home/guest/ folder and running it on Porteux and see how it works. Depending on your copying method you may need to make the file executable again before running it.

Added in 34 minutes 32 seconds:
An edit on the script maybe needed. sed -i "s/orteus/orteux/g" /home/guest/pinstaller

Regarding to

Format your storage media using partition table 'dos' or 'msdos' and try again.

... the evidence!
