I have just downloaded the latest (razorqt/32bit) version and when trying to install it to to usb (via the script) it will only install to the first harddrive (sda1). So booting it from the CDrom and trying to install it cannot authenticate the root password as toor. What do I need to do to get this onto a USB ??? :wall:

root's passwort is 'toor' unless you changed it to something else through the web wizard.
please download the ISO once again and check md5sum to make sure the download wasn't corrupted.

Hi there. root's password is "toor" unless you changed it. BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT. There is another way that trying access root with pass "toor" doesn't work n spite of "toor" actually beeing the pass. If your keyboard it is not configured as your language, perhaps it is writing in Japanese or some other language of symbols. If this is your case open LibreOffice, Abiword,etc. a type "toor" in there, if you can't read that it means that's also your case. To solve it do the next:
Configure it by right clicking on the flag and entering keyboard layout settings, deactivate "keep system layouts" and then add your keyboard language in the left and put it on top. The flag should changed to your language.

Porteus 2.1 iso had a bug and my keyboard is configured by default in "Laos". I created a post here http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=117&t=2497. By the way, new iso's are solved now.

If antiesnob is right, simply use this command in terminal to be with the english keyboard:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# setxkbmap us
root@porteus:~#
Then try toor as password.
