In root, I type USM and get message USM not found after a fresh install. Where is it?

It's not in the 5.0 release candidate.

How can I install app in Porteus 5.0. Which package manager is used in place of USM?

How are 5.x rcx users adding packages? My save file and xzm scripts are failing with folder not writeable even though they're running as su and the folders are writeable for root... my understanding is the new slax supports apt and uses deb repository. Is this being implemented in Porteus 5? Any working package management available? Any release projection for 5.0? Eager to get 5 kde 86-64 fully operational...

The INFO and FAQ pages on http://porteus.org/ may be outdated, but still would answer much of your questions.

USM is not included, nor is apt. context scripts spit errors. Even if I compile, how do I make it a module? Is there an easy fix to make the scripts work? They're running as root, the folders are writeable...

At the moment you can download Slackware packages (https://pkgs.org/ is a good start) and convert them to xzm (just need to right click).
New Slax is based on Debian, which has apt-get. Porteus is based on Slackware, so no apt-get.
The idea is to release it together with (or just after) Slackware 15 final release.
What you mean exactly?

"convert them to xzm (just need to right click)."
That has not been my experience. The right click (context menu) commands don't work. I get "not writable" errors regardless of folder permissions or guest / root user.

For .txz files convert them to .xzm format with the txz2xzm command.

Yeah, in KDE there's this issue when trying to convert to xzm -- I forgot about it, sorry. You can try in the terminal as sudo:
Code: Select all
sudo txz2xzm input.txz
