Re: Multiple versions of Porteus
Posted: 16 Oct 2015, 00:49
So the Porteus nOOb can't boot Porteus.
Damned screen says
The USB STICK comes with a few distros. Structure:
I chainload porteus's syslinux and slitaz's isolinux fine from /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg.
Slitaz boots without issue.
porteus/32/boot/{extlinux.conf,isolinux.cfg,syslinux.cfg}
porteus/32/boot/porteus.cfg
Same result after changing USB STICK to that structure:
Also I used the two syntaxes for cheatcode 'from=' :
* "path" (eg "/porteus/32") on http://www.porteus.org/tutorials/26-gen ... -them.html and docs/cheatcodes.txt
* "root_folder_name" (eg porteus/32) on http://www.porteus.org/tutorials/10-ins ... ition.html
What can I do to help Porteus finds its babes?
