Hey, I tried Porteus today and am really impressed. I managed to get Cinnamon running on one a eeePC 701 series from a USB!
To my surprise, most things were supported out of the box. However, trying to install on the device's internal SSD got me the boot error
file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>
But it's no biggie. I probably won't be using that device for anything anymore.
I also got the Cinnamon 64bit USB version working on an Acer Aspire V-123. Everything looks good so far.
I must say, Porteus is a really nice little distro.
Woah, it's running on a eeePC 701 series!

Welcome to the forum n2fole00.
The install error you got would indicate that you used an app to install Porteus. Try installing it using the Porteus USB_INSTALLATION.txt instructions.
