hello everyone. I am a newbie in linux. I tried ubuntu and like a lot.. good bye windows for me.. I heard about slackware and I wanna try it.. I dont know nothing about linux.. I need to know how to make my usb bootable and install slackware onto my computer. thank you.....

Try AlienBOB's wiki: http://alien.slackbook.org/dokuwiki/...ckware:usbboot

Welcome to slackware, don't get discouraged by it, unlike ubuntu or other distros, slackware dosen't hide things from you.

Do you intend to dualboot with ubuntu or use it alone? The latter would reouire more work.

There is a link here to a very nice noob friendly tutorial to install slackware with pictures for every step. Look around here it's on someone's signature.

Before Installing I would recommend downloading virtualbox vrom ubuntu app store and try a slackware install.

Just burning a dvd with slackware is alot easier than installing from usb. I's doable with usb of course but a dvd easy and straightforword.

thank you so much I will try it out....thanks....

Hi,

Welcome to LQ!

Even easier is to mount the ISO image to the loop device. Of course you will still need a boot image;
If your machine can boot from USB then look at README_USB.TXT to see how to use usbboot.img.

There's also the Slackbook: http://www.slackbook.org/

Once you Slack, you'll never go back.

Amen. Praise Bob.
As other people have previously mentioned the thing you need to do to have a successful first install is to read and understand the available documentation.
