Porteus¶
Porteus (originally called Slax Remix in the first releases) is an operating system based on Slackware and modified Linux Live Scripts.
As a result of using the scripts it does not require installation and can be run from fixed and removable media, such as a USB flash drive or compact disc.
Porteus provides versions for x86 (32-bit) based systems as well as for x86_64 (64-bit) based systems.
Porteus x32¶
Copy initrd.xz, vmlinuz, porteus folder to appropriate directory: (LOWER CASE ONLY!)
cp /mnt/cdrom/boot/vmlinuz /tftpboot/er/plugins/porteus/i386/vmlinuz
cp /mnt/cdrom/boot/initrd.xz /tftpboot/er/plugins/porteus/i386/initrd.xz
cp -R /mnt/cdrom/porteus/* /tftpboot/er/shares/porteus/i386/porteus/
Porteus x64¶
Copy vmlinuz, porteus folder to appropriate directory: (LOWER CASE ONLY!)
- Do not replace our version of initrd.xz - it has a fix in linuxrc file (x86_64 edition only).
