Hard to answer #1 without more information.
What are you booting from, hard drive or USB drive? Is the computer plugged in? What OS are you booting? Does the computer boot and if so does the beeping continue? Is the computer BIOS based or UEFI based?

Hi Manessa.

Porteus Requirements
===============================================
Porteus is not pretentious, though it requires some minimal hardware to
run properly. It depends on how you wish to use Porteus, of course.
The most important thing is memory. You need at least 40 MB of RAM to
boot Porteus in text mode. A more detailed description follows:
Medium
------
Either an IDE connected CDROM (to boot from a CD), a USB FlashDisk
(to boot from a mass storage device), Compact flash card, or an
internal or external hard disk (to boot Porteus from a hard disk).
BIOS
----
Either non-emulation booting enabled (to boot from a CD)
or USB FlashDrive booting enabled (to boot from a mass storage device)
Memory requirements for text mode
36 MB to boot to cli (without copy2ram)
Memory requirements for KDE4
------
512 MB to run Xwindow
768 MB to be able to use copy2ram cheatcode
Memory requirements for LXQT
------
256 MB to run Xwindow
512 MB to be able to use copy2ram cheatcode
Memory requirements for MATE
------
256 MB to run Xwindow
512 MB to be able to use copy2ram cheatcode
Memory requirements for XFCE
------
256 MB to run Xwindow
512 MB to be able to use copy2ram cheatcode
Memory requirements for XFCE
------
256 MB to run Xwindow
512 MB to be able to use copy2ram cheatcode
Processor
---------
Any processor with support for 32-bit/64-bit instructions. Intel and AMD are
both OK.
Peripheral devices
------------------
any keyboard
any PS/2 or USB connected mouse
Harddisk

^those memory requirements might be a little out of date, i'd at least double them, possibly even triple.
a swap partition or file is a must for low memory machines.

I believe they are from the ISO's /boot/docs/requirements.txt file.
Might be wise to add steps to do that to the requirements.txt file. But some people use Porteus USB drives because their hdd is failing.
