SLAX Live-CD v 4.1.2

[RASTABT]

SLAX is a small bootable CD containing the Linux operating system. It runs Linux directly from the CD without installing. The Live CD described here is based on the Slackware GNU Linux distribution and is downloadable from this website as an ISO image. All scripts and source code are available and can be used to build your own Live CD.

How to run SLAX Linux from USB FlashDisk
Boot SLAX CD and plug your USB FlashDisk in. Change directory to /boot (or wherever your CDrom is) and start:

./create_bootdisk.sh . /dev/sda1 /dev/sda SLAX

This command will create a directory called SLAX on your flashdrive and it will copy all necessary data to it. The first argument (the dot ".") means that you wish to create a bootdisk from the current directory. Second parameter /dev/sda1 is your FlashDisk's first primary partition and the third parameter /dev/sda is the master boot record of your flashdrive.

You can also install SLAX to your hard disk this way - just replace /dev/sda1 by /dev/hda1 and /dev/sda by /dev/hda. Or use the naming scheme from devfs - /dev/discs/disc0/part1 and /dev/discs/disc0/disc. Note that create_bootdisk.sh script will overwrite your MBR so you won't be able to boot any other existing OS from your USB FlashDisk (or harddisk).

The procedure is fairly easy and similar to all LiveCD's, and here it's well documented in the Slax site wiki:
