How to save/copy/backup Porteus?
Posted: 14 Jul 2015, 10:11
Hello,
I value the Porteus running from a pendrive the way I set it up, and I'd like to be able to copy the whole thing onto another pendrive as a backup, or to give to a friend. What would be the best way to do this?
Simply copying /dev/sdxY/boot and /dev/sdxY/porteus onto an empty ext4 pendrive or ext4 SD card seems like a bad idea, because /boot/Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com comes back with error code 2. (During the copying there are a lot of 'cannot copy special file' messages.)
Please advise
