Download from your favourite mirror: http://porteus.org/porteus-mirrors.html (in the x86_64/Porteus-v5.1 folder)
If you're manually updating an existing install, the modules are in x86_64/Porteus-v5.1/modules and the kernel in x86_64/Porteus-v5.1/kernel.
Be sure to update the initrd.xz too, which can be found in the install-skeleton-64.tar.xz.
Note: some mirrors may not be fully synced at the time of posting.
To repeat:
At this point, while quite stable, there are only 64bit versions, no localization support, no bundles and limited package repos.
Who is this for? Anyone who wants to contribute to the further development of Porteus by bug testing/reporting/fixing
or those who need/want the latest software and don't mind the lack of package availability.
