[SOLVED] slackel install usb will not boot.

percy_vere_uk · 09-22-2021, 04:53 AM

Hi

I have tried many times now using different usb drives to install 'slackellive-openbox-7.4.iso' and also 'slackellive-fluxbox-1.0-64.iso'.

I have used linux-mx live usb maker which previously I have used to install many linux systems including 'slackware64-14.2-install-dvd.iso' without any problems.

But with slackel I find on attempted boot the usb drive does not show in bios.

Any suggestion please.

Thank you

percy

this may be useful to you if you want to explore Slackware Live instead of slackellive ?

Hi

I have made several attempts to register with salixos.

I have not received an activation email so cannot proceed any further with salixos.

laprjns and _peter thanks for your input on this.

I will leave this thread open just in case there are any more suggestions forthcoming.

Slackel is partly salix-based but there's a dedicated slackel forum that might be worth visiting: http://www.slackel.gr/forum/

As mentioned by _peter, an alternative might be AlienBob's Liveslak, based on Slackware-current and thus more up to date than Slackel-7.4

I have solved the problem my system is ufi boot and I was trying boot with slackellive-openbox-7.4.iso instead of slackellive64-openbox-7.4.iso

So should be OK now.

Thanks for your input on this.

I'm wondering if you looked into your spam email folder for the activation email.

I did check there was no activation reply, but for now the issue is solved.

Thanks for your interest.

Did you send an email?

I have no need to be concerned about registering at the moment #7

If I have any more questions I will try again.

Thank you for your input.

For what it's worth, you never received a registration confirmation on the Salix forums because you provided a wrong email address. The one you provided was @yahool.com. Notice the extra "l".
