Can't make Porteus Install on a flash drive...
Posted: 19 May 2011, 08:16
Hi!
I'm not having any luck at all trying to install Porteus on a flash drive; an 8 GB Kingston Traveller drive. I'm trying to install it from Linux (Crunchbang 10 on a Toshiba Satellite A100).
I've been trying to follow all the directions, and nothing happens.
I'm okay putting the /boot and /Porteus folders onto my flash drive. I've tried several formatting this flash drive in more than one format. And One of the following things happens:
Can anyone tell me if I'm missing something that should be obvious?
Thanks!

- FAT and ext4; running lin_start_here.sh seems to work, but then the flash drive has no GRUB on it and won't boot.
- ext2 and ext3; in either case, when I try to run lin_start_here.sh, I get an error message telling me that script file doesn't exist
Can anyone tell me if I'm missing something that should be obvious?
Thanks!
