I don't think this is mentioned before, I got this error when I ran the installer:
Code: Select all
x@PCx /media/USB DISK/boot $ ./Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Porteus Installer......
Installer needs root's privileges to run
Password:
bash: /media/USB: No such file or directory
x@PCx /media/USB DISK/boot $
The (mounted) device-name resolving goes wrong when handling spaces in mounted device names..
(USB DISK becomes USB)
Dunno if this can be solved by using some extra parenthesis..

There are only 10 kind of people in this world, those who can read binary and those who can't.

hi mocabilly,
i should be able to fix this bug for next release - thanks for reporting.
as a workaround please mount your device manually in some folder without spaces in name, ie
and perform installation as before.
thanks
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

Fanthom,
Thanx for looking into it.
I already used the workaround, and was able to use Porteus 2
Grtz,
