Older releases BurnInTest Linux V3 - Creating a live boot environment There are numerous other ways to create self booting Linux environments and while they should work we have done the most testing on the Porteus live environment. If you want to launch BurnInTest automatically when booting has finished you can create a burnintest.sh file in the porteus\rootcopy\root\.config\autostart-scripts directory (creating each sub directory as required) on the usb drive that contains these lines.If not you will need to copy the contents of the the burnintest directory back into the rootcopy folder on the USB drive (you will need to check the mounted disks for your USB drive), eg cp -R -F /burnintest /mnt/sdc1/porteus/rootcopy If you have setup Porteus to save changes then next time Porteus boots BurInTest should remain registered.BurnInTest will be in the /burnintest folder, launch BurnInTest and register your key.

Extract the files and copy the BurnInTest directory to the porteus\rootcopy folder on the USB drive.Download the latest version of BurnInTest Linux.Most of the tests in BurnInTest require root privileges so edit the /boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg file and in the "LABEL GRAPHICAL" section add "login=root" to the APPEND line, for example.Follow these steps to creating a Porteus USB drive.There are a number of different desktop environments available, we would recommend using the KDE based one. Download the current Desktop edition of Porteus.The following steps are based on Porteus Linux V4.
