did somebody experienced similar prob. I tried as VM on Hyper-V and on old laptop. Slax Slackware based cannot load desktop GUI.

Thx again for all the info... I used Slax as VM booting from ISO. Never had problems. Then decided to install it on mid age laptop. Did't succeded (now know how :) ). Really wanted to use it for listing Internet. Suddenly got the problem with DNS resolution on VM. Going too weird now. I blamed...

I really apologize... tried again exactly as in your instructions. Prior to that played with slightly different things and was very close :) Installation is fine!!! Thank you very much for your time. Would it be possible to set this Slax on automatic update?

> 5. Use the File Manager to go into the /slax/boot/ folder (on the SSD) and double-click on the bootinst.bat file and choose Execute. This is the step that makes the SSD bootable. Exit the Live Slax USB and reboot to the SSD. no execute it edits file. Tried few things... how to execute? Tried...

Thanks...

Hi, I am using Slax as a VM OS on Hyper-V. Never had a problem. Today replaced ISO. Started the VM from ISO. Machine is UP. First thing is Browser installation. The window popping up and desappear. Ifconfig shows IP and also DNS (its router IP as a host machine) I can ping the router from SLAX...

ended up simply by installing Mint. It simply flies. And interface is clean. Sure it's 2.4GB ISO with Open Office and etc. But who cares. Anyway I appreciate your suggestion for SLAX and will keep it if need. BTW, I think I have some old dumb HP laptops. So will probably try for fun. Thanks again.

Thx. I will try it. If not I can go with something else. I want to make this Dell that is not completely from Jurassic Park era for my brother. It has just 4 GB of RAM, but 4 years ago I installed SSD into... now it's dying with Windows10. And flyiing with Linux. Slax is absolutely clean. All...

SSD is the main drive in Dell laptop. Currently, Windows 10 on it. > Start Etcher and point it first at your Slax .iso and then tell it to write it to the SSD. I created E: partition and formated it as exFAT. So, should I put ISO on it and then run Balena. Initially, copied Slax folder to this...

cool idea... so just to be sure I folow you... should I install Balena into Windows 10 and then try to proceed? I don't need any other distro than Slax. Love it.

Tried Puppy... not good for me ... Slax is absolutely better from all perspectives (again, for me). PLEASE let me know how to install it on harddrive (it's SSD, so should be just fine). I cannot figure out ans there is no official exact instruction.

I created Puppy USB. Boot it. There is no INSTALL option. I want to install it on Harddrive.

Just checked Puppy... It's basically says 300MB too :) Will give a shot.

what you have against Slax ? :) Jocking... It's just 300MB. Use it as VM. It run fine from USB. I found some doc that saying on first boot it should show option for Install. But with latest release there is non... So, I am asking on Linux forum guys who can help. Thanks.

Hi, I can successfully start a laptop from prepared USB. Just copied Slax directory and run boot... file. The brief doc on Slax web site saying simply to copy Slax folder to Windows partition, run boot file and restart. I copied Slax folder on the laptop D: partition. When running boot file it...
