Download .iso (Pre release)
github.com/PocketHandyBox/pocket-handybox/releases
Based on Debian 12 and Devuan
Porteus Initrd, overlayfs, sysvinit (build with systemd is possible too), Xfce 4.18
Includes applications such as CPU-X, GSmartControl, GParted, Partimage, Partclone,
TestDisk, ddrescue, WHDD, OpenZFS (64bit only).
Both UEFI and Legacy/CSM boot modes supported. Ventoy compatible (minimal version 1.0.80)
Support boot from USB/SATA/NVMe devices, from FAT32/exFAT/Ext2/3/4/NTFS filesystems.
Secure Boot is not supported and must be disabled. Boot from ZFS not supported.
Contains three versions of NVIDIA proprietary GPU drivers - current 550.x,
and legacy 390.x and 340.x. At boot time, the 'linuxrc' script automatically
determines which driver squashfs module to load.
The default boot option is 64bit Linux 6.10 kernel. NVIDIA 550.x and 390.x
driver modules are pre-built.
Additionally, a 64bit Linux 5.10 kernel is supplied. It must be selected if a legacy 340.x
NVIDIA driver is required (390.x is also pre-built).
Linux 5.10 kernel built with intel-nvme-remap patch from EndlessOS to get access to
NVMe SSDs on 6th-10th gen Intel Core i3/i5/i7 platforms with "Intel RST Premium With
Optane" option enabled in UEFI Setup.
For compatibility with older hardware, a live32 i686 version with Linux 6.1 kernel
without PAE is included.
When booting with Linux 6.1 or 6.10 kernels, the new NTFS3 driver from Paragon is used
to mount drives instead of NTFS-3G.
You can install any software available in Debian and create modules with the necessary
additional software. Additional squashfs modules can be activated in run time,
not only at boot time.
