Frankenstein Porteus(X) mashup - humor

Post#1 by nanZor » 04 Apr 2025, 22:29

So I did this - I created my own mashup of BOTH Porteus and PorteuX by mistake! Hilarity ensues ...

1) Took a working stick install of PorteuX, and since I have a few installs, thought I'd put Porteus 5.1 Alpha on it. I have lots of sticks!

2) Booted with copy2ram, and proceeded to mount the Porteus Alpha and copy the usual files over - overlaying the existing.

3) When the file manager noticed I had duplicate files, and wanted to know if I should Skip-or-Ignore All, I selected either skip or ignore (I forget which now)

Rebooted. The resultant system broke my mind!

"Hey, what's this doing here? When I click on L3afpad, up comes Netsurf. Where did that come from? Why is my desktop appearance settings so funky?"

That kind of thing. It will test your Porteus(X) zen for sure! Not recommended for serious use! :)
That's a UNIX book - cool. -Garth
