P.S. When you find the Cinnamon bug, please post here CINNAMON or under http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=117&t=6519. Thought I had tried Paint in a KDE5 RC, and was OK. Just now tried and it is loading but not starting.

I need boot Porteus from USB stick, but I need "invisible" internal HDD so possible malicious virus cannot touch data on my internal HDD or can it? I guess I need "destroy" HDD "support" in kernel??

So should I post all the bugs in that topic or it is enough I mentioned the bugs here? I am totally new in this forum and I do not know conventions.

Blaze, it works but only for 66.6 %, because I had 3 partitions on my HDD, but the last one is still fully accessible.

Think it is better that you post under the desktop for the issue you have, so that you can get help with any difficulty you are having. It is better if what you have already mentioned is once more posted so that all the issues are together in the one place.

Very much doubt there is any defence against a determined virus, without going to extraordinary lengths to prevent it. Maybe you can reach a level of security if you are able to disable the HDD from the BIOS. :Search:

In "Always Fresh" mode everything is always fast (boot, shut down, response time), but when I use "Graphics Mode" everything is often frozen. Something is wrong. It is one week I am playing with Porteus, and I still cannot normally use it. I am running it on 16 GB USB stick formatted as ext4, I did not make any big changes. Maybe some cheatcodes can help? I never used a one...

When HDD disable in BIOS. I think PC just turn off for boot & DOS, but linux still see it.

To turn off in kernel, use parameter: libata.force=1.00:disable

Like here with port SATA0, where HD is plugged...

BOOT_IMAGE is automatic porteus thing. I don't add that.

libata.force is parameter to modify libata module action. All kernel have it.
I need to do same as OP and search for way. Probably found it on superuser board or something.
Google is good friend for me like that. 8)

Believe it's the permissions issue, which is why need file to contain linux FS on win$oze FS.

What is your output of

Code: Select all

ls /porteus/modules/
In boot menu I press TAB key, and I write " exit" (with space separator).

How do you know the "exit" cheatcode is not for ext4? I did not read that anywhere.

Directory "modules" is empty I think:

Code: Select all
