***** New Porteus-Wheezy uploaded *****

Porteus-Wheezy2-deb-kern-3.12.iso with kernel 3.12-0.bpo.1-486 from debian-backports (iso size is 139MB):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByBgCD ... sp=sharing

And Porteus-Wheezy2-deb-kern-3.2.0-4-486.iso
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByBgCD ... sp=sharing
It's exactly the same as Porteus-Wheezy2-deb-kern-3.12.iso except for the kernel which is the stable kernel.
------------------------------------
EDIT: 19-02-2014:
Updated Porteus-Wheezy2-deb-kern-3.12.iso:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByBgCD ... sp=sharing
Changes:
- xfdesktop upgraded to version 4.11 (preview of 4.12) (for manually install .deb package see below)
- fixed: when used boot option "changes=EXIT:/.." using a directory for changes the "home" drive will be mounted now.

Here's also xfdesktop-4.11_xfce4-panel-4.10_thunar-1.6-wheezy-debs.tar.gz:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByBgCD ... sp=sharing
To upgrade e.g. xfdesktop(but NOTE it's already installed if you use above Porteus-Wheezy):
Extract the archive and in extracted directory open terminal in folder: xfdesktop4-4.11 and type:

Code: Select all

dpkg -i *.deb

If there are errors just type again (do NOT do "apt-get -f install"):

Code: Select all

dpkg -i *.deb

To upgrade e.g. thunar do the same with terminal standing in folder thunar-1.6
----------------------------------------


Same setup as the first edition with combination openbox, xfce4-panel, xfdesktop
Compared to the first Porteus-Wheezy the size of the iso is increased; mainly because of the larger filesize of kernel but also there are more applications added.
Added multi-user support, thanks to Toni and William for finding the best ways for it.
User "root" is the default and user "puppy" is added as unprivileged user (same as in Toni's Light-Wheezy2).
Login details: username: root password: root
username: puppy password: puppy
To login as user puppy go to Menu>Logout>Exit X (you then may need to press Ctrl+Alt+F1)
Then on the commandline:

Code: Select all

login

and type: puppy and type the password: puppy
The script for root access for a user is /opt/bin/gsu (Graphical su)
So for example, to run gparted as normal user do:

Code: Select all

gsu gparted

And type root password.

Also added:
- Remaster script to make module from your own setup including changes.
- Script to make module just from the changes so it could be added as second module in the "base" folder, e.g. 02-changes.xzm

See also here my first Porteus-Wheezy post for more how-to info, also about cheatcodes etc...:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 107#747107

Some additional info about the "changes=EXIT:/..." boot option:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advantages of this "changes=EXIT:/..." boot option:
- changes are mounted on tmpfs, so very fast.
- option (prompt) to save or not (can be very nice if you made a lot of changes but not satisfied with it, just click "nosave" then)
Disadvantage may be: if you have very small RAM size that you are limited to that size when installing e.g. programs.

Comparison of mounted directories with puppy (when pupmode=13 is used):

porteus-wheezy ___________________________________________________ puppy

/mnt/live/memory/changes ______________________________________ /initrd/pup_rw
/mnt/live/memory/images/changes-exit _________________________ /initrd/pup_ro1

Running "apt-get update" right now.

Almost 3 am so too late for more testing now ....need sleep.

Looks like a solid beginning.

It mounts /live/image/ which here is /lib/live/mount/medium in read-only mode

mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1

I love debian live Smile

I'm not following your logic -- the latest Wheezy is 160 Mb

# Pentum D 805 ( 64 bit cpu I`m sure. ). I`m using vmlinuz1 for the non-pae kernel.
I had to dig through the config. files to find out which one was which.
