You should be able to do multiseat as porteus is linux, and more specifically porteus is slackware:

https://www.linuxquestions.org/question ... 175710289/

Linux question is the best place to do so. I do not think that someone on this forum uses multiseat.

But first, you should be accustomed with porteus. Just use it.
