anyone done a full USB install of Slackware 12.2?
 

I just picked up an Asus EeePC 1000HE and wondering if it's possible to do a complete slackware install from USB, which would house the boot files and the full package for the install?

I have never actually done this, but I know it can be done. See the Booting.txt file at any Slackware mirror:

You want the usbboot.img:

And here is the link to the usb installer on Eric H's wiki:

I installed Slackware 12.2 from a USB stick on my netbook (dell mini 9) and it runs well. I didn't do a full install with all packages to save space on the drive (16GB SSD).

I did Slackware 12.2 onto a Dell Mini 9 as well - it worked without a single problem! Like vinegaroon did, I spent a good 10 minutes selecting which packages I did and didn't need.

Awesome, can't wait to give it a try, I did manage to get backtrack4 beta booting off usb and got the wireless card working, now I just want to migrate this XP Home install completely while being to cheap to get an external rom.

Well I grabbed the latest usbimage from the pxe and usb installer directory from my slackware iso, done the above slackboot commands from alien, booted up my netbook with USB and got a no operating system error, the files did copy over from the dd command, is there something that I am missing? Got the fill image on my desktop shared out for the rest of the install, im just not getting that far yet.

You guys check out Alien Bob's stuff?

I done this usbinstall and got a "Missing Operating System" error message.

If you get that error, chances are it's because the MBR (master boot record) is totally blank; this can be fixed by making sure a boot-loader (Grub, or Lilo) gets installed.

You do not, necessarily need to do this from the Slackware installer - you could do it with a live distribution if you so desire.
