Hello
john30. Within the ISO is a file named USB_INSTALLATION.txt. Follow the instructions written in it. Fairly simple and straight forward. Copy files, run a program.
If you multi-boot using grub2 you can try this approach:
Code: Select all
menuentry " Porteus 4.0 ISO - AF" --class slackware --class icon-porteus {
set iso=/ISOs/Porteus-CINNAMON-v4.0-x86_64.iso ### Adjust to fit your ISO name and folder ###
set boot_parms="volume=33 reboot=cold "
search -f $iso --set=root
loopback loop $iso
linux (loop)/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz from=$iso $boot_parms
initrd (loop)/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz
}
It's the approach I use to test Porteus ISOs.
If you check the chat area you will see a link to a u-tube video that
Blaze posted that will show you how to install the ISO.
Lots of options.
