This series is mainly for potential Windows users. In Part 1<\/b><\/i><\/a> I mentioned two options for installing Porteus v5.0<\/b><\/a> onto a USB: 1)<\/b> using a fat32 formatted partition. 2)<\/b> using two partitions \u2013 a smaller fat32 formatted partition plus<\/b><\/u> an ext4 formatted partition.<\/p>\n As most Windows users know, formatting a USB drive is limited to a size of just 32 GBs max when using fat32, which is why fat32 formatting is generally found on the smaller USBs.<\/p>\n In this ‘Refresh<\/em>‘ of the original Part 2 in this Porteus 5.0 Cinnamon<\/strong> series, I am going to cover three Steps in creating various versions of the Porteus 5.0 Cinnamon OS \u2013 a ‘Live<\/em>‘ version which will be used to create the other two versions (or Steps<\/em>).<\/p>\n Porteus Linux works great on a 32 GB USB…heck<\/i>, the updated Porteus-CINNAMON-v5.0-x86_64.iso I downloaded<\/b><\/a> was just 359 MBs…1 MB smaller than the 360 MB one I got a few days before.<\/p>\n No *BLOAT*<\/b> on Porteus Linux! I’ve recently tested it on a 16 GB USB w\/ no problems ‘n plenty of room. I even formatted that 16 GB USB w\/ Two Partitions<\/b> \u2013 a fat32 plus ext4 partitions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Both NTFS & Ext4 formats are a lot faster than Fat32. NTFS & Ext4 formats can also work on bigger SSD & NVMe drives.<\/p>\n In Linux, fat32 partitions are mainly for EFI\/UEFI bootable partitions.<\/p>\n Here is the Official Porteus Installation Guide<\/b><\/a>, which I have stopped using<\/em>, but had found it useful back when I first started testing Porteus. Their Forum<\/b><\/a> is probably the best source for quick and helpful information. The actual Porteus Home<\/b><\/a> page seems to run behind its Forum, but there is also helpful info, info about, pics, links, etc. there.<\/p>\n Username for root is root<\/b> and password is toor<\/b>.
