Regarding "installation", Porteus is not specifically designed to be "installed". Think about it as if it were PMagic; you don't usually "install" it. You "could", but the main usage is "Live".
I don't think this is true. From the main page: "Porteus is a complete linux operating system that is optimized to run from CD, USB flash drive, hard drive, or other bootable storage media." So I think "live" is just a starting point. In fact, the Porteus Installer works flawlessly to install Porteus onto the HDD, so I am not complaining here.Quote:
I hope these tips help. If there are more questions, just ask (or search porteus site ![:)]( "Smile")

I have already laid out my questions, three of them in fact.

1) How do I get gparted-0.18.0-1 (i486) into Porteus?
2) How do I get clonezilla into Porteus?
3) Less importantly, how do I get VMWare Tools into Porteus?
These were the first 3 things I did when I started with Debian Live (in order 3, 1, 2), and it was surprisingly easy for a newbie like myself, with all dependencies automagically resolved.
I can't shake off this feeling that Debian is a more mature system with greater support behind it...
