Salix live can't boot


Hi all
I used Unetbootin and then Linux Live USB Creator (in Windoz) to install a Salix KDE ISO into a USB disk. But neither worked well.
Any idea to run the ISO live with my USB disk?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

How to install Salix Live on a USB key?

These instructions are for LiveCD images of Salix only!!! If you're iso image file does not have 'live' in it's name look at these instructions: http://www.salixos.org/wiki/index.ph...om_a_USB_stick
It depends if you already have a Salix Live CD or simply an ISO image. In any case, Unetbootin is not supported and should not be used.
Read the link. Since you sound green with only a 2 post count. Using the live cd instructions for Salix to make the pendrive might be what you are looking to do.

Also, Salix is not the same as Slackware. This is a Slackware forum, please take your Salix issue to the proper place.
