Salix live includes the same applications as the regular Salix Xfce, with the addition of gparted (instead of cfdisk), grub2, lilosetup, liveclone, persistence-wizard, and salix-live-installer. The default root password is live.
The disk image can be used both to burn a CD and to create a live usb stick. For the latter, do not use unetbootin (it won't work); just unzip the iso file onto the usb memory (which should have any Windows filing system) and run install-on-USB.sh (or install-on-USB.cmd in Windows).
The live clone tool enables you to create a disk or usb installer, customised if required, from the running system. The process can take over an hour, as it has to create a squashfs, but it works.
The persistance wizard enables data to be stored on a hard drive or usb memory.
To install: run the live system; read the Salix manual; run gparted to set up the HD; run the new graphical installer. Simple!
