Re: Using Pacman File Manager
Why are you using an older version of Porteus? 3.0 is the current one. 3.0 has USM, 2.1 has Porteus Package Manager.noobTeus wrote:guest@porteus:~$ cat /etc/porteus-version

Re: Using pcmanfm File Manager
Where did you take you porteus os? When? What version is it? What desktop are you using?
A good habit is to have this information at hand in your user profile under the distribution section.
For the changes=EXIT cheatcode read this:

There is a lot of chances that you will have very few support if you use another version than the current version of porteus.
