Install from live usb
I'm trying to install to a usb from a live porteus usb. I formatted the usb to ext3 and set it to boot. When I use the install from the GUI it hangs and never finishes. I'm curious is ext3 the correct format and has anyone else experienced this problem ?
Re: Install from live usb
hi, seem you can't do this because the live system have lot of file that isn't possible to copy on a new installation,you can copy a run system making an iso of it and after you can copy on another media like usb or sd.

Re: Install from live usb
I was able to get it to complete but it won't let me run shell script under linux. I keep getting operation not permitted then Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com not found. Basically I want a persistent live copy that doesn't require the save.dat file each time I reboot.

Re: Install from live usb
Update -
I have all of the files on the copied to the USB drive. Now when I run Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com I get the message saying sfdisk is not installed. I'm getting a little upset. I figured the porteus operating system would include everything need to install porteus to another drive. Any fixes for this ? I can't find sfdisk in the package manager.
Thanks,
Stuck

Re: Install from live usb
AFAIK it does, but then I do everything manually with Grub. So you'll have to wait for the Porteus Install for Linux guy to give you the heads up. In the meantime however, if you're at all familiar with Linux, it might not hurt to look at this thread.stuck on stupid wrote:I figured the porteus operating system would include everything need to install porteus to another drive.

Re: Install from live usb
It should be as easy as the following:
Boot porteus using copy2ram mode.
Copy all files from one USB to another (as root)
Change directory into the second USB (This is essential)
Reboot into your second USB.
Boot porteus using copy2ram mode.
Copy all files from one USB to another (as root)
Code: Select all
cp -a /mnt/sdxY/* /mnt/sdxZ
sync
Code: Select all
cd /mnt/sdXz/boot
./Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com
cd /
umount /mnt/sdxY /mnt/sdxZ

run as root.
sfdisk is not in the guest's $PATH.

Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

Re: Install from live usb
'as root' means as root, not sudo as guest.
In the console type: su
Then type in the password (toor) and you are now root. Installation operation should be done as root. Hope that helps.

Re: Install from live usb
That seems to have found it but why can't the executable in the boot folder seem to find it. Can you post the full command line you used to make it work.Bogomips wrote:stuck on stupid wrote:Same thing sfdisk not found.Code: Select all
