Here is something I plan to add to the documentation. After some testing I hope to have a Linux Distribution with o[ installed and ready to go.
OpenEuphoria and Porteus Linux
One easy way to try o[ is from Porteus Linux installed on a USB Flash Drive.
The Porteus website is: www.porteus.org
The download page (desktop edition) is: http://build.porteus.org/
The advantage of Porteus Linux:
- Basic download size is 175MB and under 300MB if you add options.
- They create a customized download for you.
- There are 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
- EFI version for computers that have the MS anti-boot feature.
- Porteus Linux can run completely in ram.
- No mess; no installation on your computer.
The Porteus website describes several ways to prepare the USB Flash Drive.
- If you are starting from Windows then download Universal-USB-Installer from http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
- If you are starting from Linux then install UNetBootin; the Software Mangager or Package Manager will download and install it for you.
Download the o[ .deb package from Source-Forge that matches your computer and Porteus particulars:
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/rapideuphoria/files/Euphoria/4.0.5/euphoria_4.0.5_i386.deb/download
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/rapideuphoria/files/Euphoria/4.0.5/euphoria_4.0.5_amd64.deb/download
Create an o[ file that Porteus can read.
- Right click on the .deb file.
- From the menu click: Convert deb to xzm...
- Use toor as the password.
- Wait a while and notice that an .xzm file was created.
Activate o[ on Porteus.
- Right Click on the .xzm file.
- From the Menus pick: Open with "Activate"
- Use toor as the pasword
Test your o[ installation:
- Open a terminal.
- Type: eui
