KDE4 v3.1-i486 fails to load via YUMI

[Kazaly]

Hi all, 1st post and of course it's a problem lol

I've created an instance of KDE4-i486 v3.1 using Pendrive YUMI and the downloaded ISO (apparently successfully)
When I try to boot live into ram I get a failure with error message(s):

searching for porteus v3.1-i486.sgn file
sh: /multiboot/porteus KDE4 v3.1-i486: unknown operand

Any tips, tricks or useful advice would be good to have right about now

It sounds like a YUMI problem. Porteus has install apps in the ISO. Look for the USB_INSTALLATION.txt file in it's root.

Thanks for that Ed, I have it running now.
My next issue I guess is to install Java as a module ... I need to run a bluetooth server I already have from the installation.
It's cross platform so should just work if I can figure out the Java installation.

For Java this works for me.

Tip: Build your own Java Oracle module

Thanks Ed, Interesting learning curve no?

Interesting indeed.

Here's part of a script I run as root to update my java module.

Code: Select all

echo
echo "1. Download the current non-RPM Linux file. "
#firefox "http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp" 
firefox "http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp" > /dev/null 2>&1 &
# Results of the download being in the /root/downloads folder rather than the guest one.
echo "   Close Firefox when done. "
echo " "
echo "2. Invoke [Menu > Admin] Java Builder "
echo " "
echo "3. Point it at the jre-*.tar.gz file in the /root/Downloads/ folder "
echo "   and run it. It takes a moment to start and several to end. "
echo " "
echo "4. When it ends press Enter to copy the jre-*.xzm file to the "
echo "   $MODULES folder."
