[Solved] [BOOT]
Can I ask a question what is [BOOT] "Bootable_NoEmulation.img" inside the ISO image for? I have never seen it before 3.1 and do I need it?

I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

Re: [BOOT]
This directory [BOOT] don't actually exist in the ISO.
(that's why it shows up in brackets)
If you burn the ISO, you won't see those directories.
The [BOOT]/Bootable_NoEmulation.img file are the first 2048 bytes of /boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin.
your extractor program (7zip ?) just show this file in a special directory,
so you can easily extract the bootsector of the ISO.

Re: [BOOT]
Jack,leave it as it is, for now, and please explain where do you have this file on your thumb drive.
I assume that you have unpacked the iso, including the [BOOT] folder to your thumb drive.If so, you can delete this folder/file.
If not, I'm not sure how you got this file onto your drive.

Re: [BOOT]
I just unpack the ISO to the thumb drive. The file system is ext4 then I ran "sh Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com" to make it bootable. Then I just booted it in to Porteus.

Re: [BOOT]
OK..got it..
For a porteus Installation only the boot and porteus Folders are required.
I think it is safe to say that you can delete the [BOOT] folder/file.

Re: [BOOT]
I don't know about the .img file but the BOOT folder is for EFI booting.

Re: [BOOT]

Re: [BOOT]
If you didn't change the boot options it boots into guest.

Re: [BOOT]
I didn't change anything and I wanted it to boot to guest. I wish I could change the root password.
