New initrd.xz and cheatcodes (boot parameters) for Porteus
Posted: 07 Jul 2022, 13:30
Code: Select all
... bfrom= (base from) like from= but:
1. No porteus-XYZ.cfg file is needed to boot if bfrom=
2. porteus dir could be renamed ie. you can boot
/folder/porteus-5.0/base by bfrom=folder/porteus-5.0,
no need for /.../porteus-5.0/porteus/base deeper path
various porteus versions could be in the same folder
nearer without deeper paths - smaller tree of folders.
... base=your-base-name Example: base=base-5.0-final
New set name for base folder:
Various porteus bases could be in the same folder
without deeper paths, easy to switch base in boot menu.
... rootcopies=/path/to_folder/with_rootcopies
Copy files from every rootcopy-XYZ inside this directory
directly to the live filesystem. This directory could contain
rootcopy1, rootcopy-for-share, rootcopy-private and they all
will be copied/overwritten in alfabetically order.
Example: 'rootcopies=/mnt/sda5/my-various-rootcopies'
Modyfication to rootcopy=
Now by default will be copied/overwritten also same directories
with suffixes 2, 3, or 4 if exist. for default rootcopy
will be copied rootcopy2, rootcopy3, rootcopy4,
for rcopyX: rcopyX2, rcopyX3, rcopyX4 also.
Usefull for testing or split because of destinity.
EDIT:
Next version with NTFS3 changes is here: NTFS3 Kernel Module
