Nmap-7.92 for Porteus 5.0-x86_64

[wread]

Hi, all!
With the final version 5.0 of Porteus, all classic applications need to be revised to check if they still work...
The turn was yesterday for Nmap, a well known network scanner; the updated version 7.92 downloaded needed an extensive remodeling of fast all dependencies; several hours struggling and testing brought about positive results

Download and move it to a subfolder Nmap in "optional" if you will use it only occasionally, as I do. I did this job under KDE desktop. You can try if it works in your desktop, too!


Enjoy!

thanks. Which nmap would you recommend for an i586 Porteus 3.1?

4.0 would crash, and I am not sure if 5.0 would work, for now I keep the Samsung q40 it as it is - I even had to use an older kernel cause the 3.1 kernel did also crash…
