First impressions

Works well and very fast. Straight onto the internet, and looks are good...I tried all 4 flavours, and probably will stick with xfce.
No problems installing, and managed to burn to pendrive with unetbooter (that bit was a pain!)

A few surprises - Im not used to Slackware, though I have experimented a little with Puppy.
Saving the session took a little thinking about.Also I didnt get the 'install new software' program to work for me (though in reality there was no need of new programs -it is all self sufficient from the start

I will probably have questions at some point, but I will experiment a little more - an issue often gets sorted by coming back to it with a fresh mind.

Thanks to the developers Its a little gem

Welcome to Porteus tonyyy. As for USB booting I prefer the Easy2Boot app. But Porteus has apps to do it for you. In the ISO read the USB_INSTALLATION.txt file.

Porteus can be installed to a flash drive or hard drive in several ways.

And it can be done from Windows or another Linux system.

Still impressed with Porteus . And I have got two more people using it And one more interested.

Welcome to porteus tonyyyy.

Membership recruitment is very appreciated. Don't hesitate to call for help. Usually, you will find plenty of that on this forum, in addition to a friendly atmosphere.

I was thinking that if every Porteus user were to recruit an average of one new user a week , than after a year there would be.... ...well a lot of users (Any mathematicians here?)

This is a good strategy. Isn't this what is called a pyramidal strategy.

But I imagine, as there is no money involved, it should be OK.

Personally I am trying hard. But not only, you have to recruit, you have to keep them on the forum.
