Re: Add Poteus to grub4dos

b) please put Porteus ISO in /HBCD/Porteus-1.2 folder

Re: Add Poteus to grub4dos
Will do. Thank you very much.
L.E.: As far as I can see, I can't save any changes booting from the iso, right? I also can't seem to boot v 2.0 rc2.

Re: Add Poteus to grub4dos
I tried with v2.0 RC2 both standard and XFCE with the following lines:
kernel /HBCD/Porteus-2.0/syslinux/boot/vmlinuz iso-scan/filename=/HBCD/Porteus-2.0/Portueus.iso from=/HBCD/Porteus-2.0/Porteus.iso --
and
kernel /HBCD/Porteus-2.0/syslinux/boot/vmlinuz iso-scan/filename=/HBCD/Porteus-2.0/Portueus.iso from_iso=/HBCD/Porteus-2.0/Porteus.iso --
I got stucked at: Drive not ready delaying x seconds... searching for porteus-v2.0-i486.sgn.
I was wondering if I can extract the iso on the drive and add it to grub4dos, so that I can save the changes to. Thanks.

Re: Add Poteus to grub4dos
you can save changes as normal. you can even load extra modules and use external /rootcopy directory.I can't save any changes booting from the iso, right?
just add necessary cheatcodes to grub4dos config.
are you sure that iso is named as "Porteus.iso" and nothing else?I got stucked at: Drive not ready delaying x seconds... searching for porteus-v2.0-i486.sgn.
please try this simplified config:
Code: Select all
title Porteus 2.0\nBest distro ever.
kernel /HBCD/Porteus-2.0/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz from=/HBCD/Porteus-2.0/Portueus.iso
initrd /HBCD/Porteus-2.0/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz
Code: Select all
find /path_to/HBCD/Porteus-2.0 -type f
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
Re: Add Poteus to grub4dos [SOLVED]
Did it with the simplified config. Many thanks.
Re: Add Poteus to grub4dos [SOLVED]
I don't want to start another topic wiith my dumb questions, so I hope you'll answer me here.
I have another slight issue with saving the changes. I added this line:
kernel /HBCD/Porteus/XFCE/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz from=/HBCD/Porteus/XFCE/Porteus_2.0_XFCE.iso changes=/HBCD/Porteus/porteussave.dat noauto copy2ram, but the system says that it can't find the path.
Can you help me with this too?
