I am interested in running both Porteus and Nemesis on the same partition in different folders. The structure of the folders is shown in the photo below.
I have Porteus running with KDE, Mate, XFCE, and LXQT using the Syslinux menu and cheatcodes. However, no matter what I try I cannot get Nemesis to boot. It mainly stalls at trying to locate the SGN file. I have used multiple sgnfile=and from= commands to try and get it to boot. The porteus.cfg from the Slackware folder structure is being used. I even appended the porteus.cfg from the Nemesis folder (APPEND /nemesis/boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg) to use the actual Nemesis boot structure to see if that would work and still run into sgn issues.
If anyone has help that would be appreciated! Thanks!

Re: Nemesis and Porteus on same partition
Like I have said. I have used various iterations of both the from= and sgnfile= commands. I realize my post was on the long side so you may have just skimmed over it. But I did try to be clear... So if you have more information that would be lovely...francois wrote:See sgnfile= cheatcode:

Re: Nemesis and Porteus on same partition
I have many porteus installations side by side.
Would you prefer syslinux of grub2? Mine come grub2.

Try this:
Try this:
Code: Select all

MENU LABEL Nemesis

Re: Nemesis and Porteus on same partition
Did you tried guest mode?
Try to start octopi in command line mode and provide the output.
