Hi,

You did a great job and it should help other.

Jack
I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

This is how I installed Porteus under Windows:
1) Use Rufus to write Porteus ISO to your USB flash drive. Choose FAT32 as partition filesystem. This operation will destroy all data on the USB drive.
2) Boot from this USB flash and use Gparted to split existing FAT32 partition into two, and format the second one to ext4 filesystem. Alternatively, use third party partitioning software under Windows for same operations (this third party software should have ext3 or ext4 filesystem support for formatting).
3) Edit boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg: set `changes` cheatcode to second partition of your bootable USB (/dev/sda2, /dev/sdb2 etc), so your changes would be saved to second partition.

This is how I installed Porteus under Windows:
1) Use Rufus to write Porteus ISO to your USB flash drive.
For 1) I use Windows' diskpart.

1.a. In a Command Prompt with Admin Rights window run: diskpart
1.b. In diskpart enter: list disk
..... Note the disk nbr of the USB drive
1.c. In diskpart enter: select disk x where x is the nbr of the USB drive.
1.d. In diskpart enter: clean all
1.e. In diskpart enter: create partition primary
1.f. In diskpart enter: format fs=fat32 quick label="Porteus" or "PorteuX"
1.g. In diskpart enter: exit

Then in Windows' File Explorer dbl click on the Porteus ISO file and copy all the Porteus folders, and files, to the newly formatted USB drive. No extra apps needed. :)

For 2) and 3) you can do as bytie posted, or leave the drive as a single partition.
