@donald
I just wanted to edit an item

Code: Select all

LABEL fresh
MENU LABEL Always Fresh
KERNEL vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=initrd.xz nomagic base_only norootcopy timezone=Europe/Prague volume=75% kmap=cz,us login=root
so in order to load the module changes.xzm in the optional.
I tried your settings and if I delete base_only so i will always load the modules folder.
Example:

Code: Select all

APPEND initrd=initrd.xz nomagic norootcopy noload=cpufreq;sensors load=changes timezone=Europe/Prague volume=75% kmap=cz,us login=root
I've added this to the start menu item:

Code: Select all

LABEL HDT
MENU LABEL Hardware Detection Tool
COM32 hdt.c32
TEXT HELP
    Hardware Detection Tool is a small
    application to verify accurate data
    on computer components
ENDTEXT
Perhaps someone will come in handy.

you have to use the noload= cheatcode
add all modules you have in the modules folder to this cheatcode.
if you do so,they won't get loaded...
The Example loads the module in the base folder , don't load modules you have added to the noload= cheatcode and then, with the use of the load= cheatcode, loads the changes module

EDIT
Now i see:
APPEND initrd=initrd.xz nomagic norootcopy noload=cpufreq;sensors load=changes timezone=Europe/Prague volume=75% kmap=cz,us login=root
This is/was only an Example, not a ready to use line
You have to add your modules to the noload cheatcode, not mine.. :wink:

@ztapl:
You can also use the extramod cheat code:

Code: Select all

extramod=/kde
This is where I put my kde desktop module and the changes module associated with it. In fact, I do the same for xfce.

Thought had seen something that could come in useful (working in similar fashion to load):

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ find /mnt/sda5/porteus/modules -name "*.xzm"
/mnt/sda5/porteus/modules/sudo-1.8.9p5-i486-1.xzm
So something like noload=eus/mod should do the trick, being sufficiently unique to differ from modules in base folder, as long as path to porteus not something like /deus/mods/porteus, in which case nothing will be loaded. :roll: . Uses egrep -v, and to be found in linuxrc. Fanthom was always telling me to see linuxrc, but never knew where linux rc was.
