No Slax-install in KDE home
Hi there.
I just downloaded Slax and i want to install it to the hard drive for testing. My flash drive has just been shipped to me and i want to use it for a while before it gets here. Problem here is that i don't see the Slax-install icon in the KDE home folder where the manual says it should be. Why don't i have that installer icon? I booted from the cd, and i selected the first option in the menu when selecting how to boot, that is, the part with KDE. How can i install Slax if i don't have the installer icon? Thanks for the help in advance. |
Hi trebek, There is a fairly extensive thread here discussing different install options. Hope something there helps.
Good luck. ;-) |
That was a hell of a reading i just did. But unfortunately, my issue is not here. I will try a couple of more options that i read there, to see if it's no necessary to have the Slax-install file, just like the Slax manual says in it's site.
Thanks, i'll post back with the results of my quest. |
Hi there, update on the install process.
I read the entire link there you wrote, for that, thanks a lot. So, i found out that it's not necessary to have the Slax-install, but, i ran into a little problem when attempting the alternate install method. I followed these simple steps: 1. Run Slax from the SlaxCD 2. mounted both my cdrom and the hard drive. 3. cp cdrom to the hard drive 4. ran boot/bootinst.sh Now, i got almost there, the installer started, but i got the following error: Code:
Flushing filesystem buffers, this may take a while... |

I'll post back with the results. |
There is a script that should run here. I'm including a quote from that thread explaining the use of the script for you.

Hi there friends.
I managed to copy all the files to the hard drive. I ran liloinstall.sh with a terminal, and it booted to Slax. Problem is that i got into the new installation, and it just worked slow and ended up freezing. I will open a new thread if i am not able to fix my newly installed Slax. The installation issue is over. Thanks for the help, i learned like hell here. LQ users rule!!! |
Glad you got the install sorted.
Good luck. ;-) |
