I was actually able to find respun isos that I was looking for. There is also a software that helps you respin nearly any iso that you want.

I did install grub 2 and it doesn't work. It keeps telling me that the bootloader has been switched? I don't know how to configure it with my machine.

Are you trying to boot a Porteus ISO or a Porteus install? I've been booting ISOs for years including Porteus ones. No spinning necessary.

It? :%) Windows? Grub2? The pc? What is "It"?

Well, yes. Whatever was booting before is now grub2. Or "It". :hmmm:

Did you add menus to your grub2 install? Can you post them?

Will I get killed if I (also) Hijack this thread ? :D
Have had this Acer Aspire Switch 10 aka SW5-012 lying around for ages .. and hate Windoze with a passion by now .. so not using it
and also would like to smack Porteus on it ..
I can boot it from usb just fine, got that baytrail grub bootia32.efi thrown in the efi/boot and it boots right into grub .. do the set root, linx, initrd boot thingie .. -> desktop
BUT
I want/need to go a little different route
I want the files on the disk without disturbing that windoze on there (just yet)
created an entry for Porteus with bcdedit, get to a dual-bootscreen from windoze bootmanager
can boot windoze of course
but no Porteus .. instead of getting grub I get a windows 'crash'recovery kind of thing .. it tells me about the bootia32.efi along with a 0xc000007b error .. so I am puzzled here
tried putting the bootia32.efi (and vmlinuz + initrd.xz) on the "C:" partition (ntfs gpt btw) and also on the ESP gpt fat32
everytime same result

and if I am not supposed to hijack .. then you didn't read a thing .. ok ?
