You can get Porteus-Wheezy.iso, which presents itself with a openbox environment:

For a functional xfce desktop enviroment, you need to proceed to some modifications:

Here is my grub legacy entry to startup porteus-wheezy:
Code: Select all
title porteus on sda5 /32bit_poteus_wheezy DE XFCE
root (hd0,4)
kernel /32bit_poteus_wheezy/vmlinuz from=/dev/sda5/32bit_poteus_wheezy changes=EXIT:/32bit_poteus_wheezy/debian login=root
initrd /32bit_poteus_wheezy/initrd.xz
boot
***to come***
Put that changes folder into the /porteus_wheezy/debian folder. It should boot with the basic modification into a xfce environment propose by fredx181. The list of additional packages are mentioned in the following section B.
Additional modifications (in progress):
- better save changes on exit option with snapexit:

B. Content of the changes folder. You can do it yourself or just pick up the ones that suits you.
1.0 Updated database and installed packages (in cli mode naturally)
apt-get update (to update package database)
then apt-get install <package-name> (to install additional packages)
2.0 Packages added to porteus-wheezy in the changes file
ark
x11-utils (to get xkill)
x11-xserver-utils (to ge xrandr)
xfce4-terminal

C. Customization of the installation.
1.0 Chromium root mode.
Backup the /usr/bin/chromium to /usr/bin/chromium.old
Change the 110 and 113 lines, adding --user-data-dir in the new /usr/bin/chromium file
Code: Select all
exec $LIBDIR/$APPNAME $CHROMIUM_FLAGS "$@"
else
# we can't exec here as we need to clean-up the temporary profile
$LIBDIR/$APPNAME $CHROMIUM_FLAGS "$@"
Code: Select all
exec $LIBDIR/$APPNAME $CHROMIUM_FLAGS "$@" --user-data-dir

- icons-xfce-gant-3.9-6.tar.bz2 from:
http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php ... 5b77b5b882

- unpack the file into the /root/.icons folder
- then xfce > settings > appearance > icons > gant for xfce
3.0 Gnome icons installation:

Note: This post is simply food for thoughts about porteus moving to debian. Really trying it is almost adopting it, see the debate:

It is good to compare porteus-wheezy to stifiling porteus-arch installation, arch linux base is also
a very good candidate:

Were are missing a rpm porteus clone!
