I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

It so big you have to download it. Hope it help.

i guess i asked for it.
we'll just focus on this bit:
Code: Select all
/mnt/sdb1:
cache
changes
lost+found
my-build
my-build.sh
netsurf-3.10-7-x86_64.bundle.xzm
pkg
porteus
transmission-gtk.xzm
youtube-dl.xzm
what stands out is there is no folder named
config.
nemesis needs this folder and it's text file contents to run properly:
Code: Select all
/config
├── backup
├── cheatcodes
├── keyboard
├── login
├── manpages
├── modules
├── network
├── services
└── time
of lesser importance: i see no /boot or /EFI folders.
how are you booting this?

I have a sdb2 is fat32 which has the /[BOOT] /boot /EFI and config. And sdb1 is ext4 which has porteus. My system boot from fat32 and linux porteus use ext4. I delete all the other stuff on sdb1.
I move config from sdb2 to sdb1 I will see if that helps.

I would recommend sdb1 be the fat32 boot partition and sdb2 the ext4 one.
