How to load/run porteus from a USB stick that already has c't 's desinfect 2013 on it?
It formatted the USB stick into 3 partitions: the first two being vfat, the last being ext4, and loads by using grub2...
Porteus would fit on any of these partitions.
The ext4 sure is good for the rootcopy folder.
here is its original grub config file:
Code: Select all
if loadfont /boot/grub/font.pf2 ; then
insmod efi_gop
insmod efi_uga
fi
set menu_color_normal=white/black
set menu_color_highlight=black/light-gray
set default=0
menuentry "Desinfec't 2013 starten" {
linux /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper persistent quiet splash memtest=4 -- debian-installer/language=de console-setup/layoutcode?=de
initrd /casper/initrd.lz
}
Cheers!
Yours Rava

Change:
to
You can change 0 and timeout value (0 - the first menuentry will be loaded if no key pressed within 5 seconds)
Add at the end:
Code: Select all
menuentry "Porteus my" {
search --no-floppy --file --set=root /......./boot/syslinux/vmlinuz
linux /....../boot/syslinux/vmlinuz your-chatcodes
initrd /...../boot/syslinux/initrd.xz
}
Replace ........ with your own path - omit /mnt/sdxY, C:, (hd0,1) and similar
You can also use --fs-uuid instead of --file but add then your UUID.
If your chatcode contains
= (from, load) then add
' after
= and
' at last, ie
For noload= you need probably additional semicolons ie:
You have mind and feelings. Be wise and clever.
