I have a live disk SLAX I love it! It would be even cooler if I could install it. The make_disk.sh opens Konsole terminal program and has a bunch of fancy red purple and various other collered text codes. Down at the bottom it says installation successful so I assume it's installed and reboot. NO WAY that would be too easy there is nothing written to the HD atall It lied to me. WHAT CAN I DO TO INSTALL SLAX? I like it better than any distro I've checked out thus far! It's the one I want to use as a PRIMARY OS! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!
i agree, of all the live CDs and slackware children = Slax is the best, i wish the Slax developers would include a harddrive installer to run in either an xterm/konsole or CLI bash shell...
and include some development tools like GCC, G++ & make, xmkmf & imake too...
That is a little french to me but I think you are telling me that SLAX cannot possibly be installed? I love it though I WANT IT AS MY OS! Is there any way? Any way at all?
there is no way to install to a harddrive as far as i know, even the developers of Slax been asked before to make a harddrive installer and he graciously said no, too bad, that is sad ;(
i am sure somebody found a dirty way to install it to a harddrive but i have not found it...
