More than one way to skin a cat... Any logical individual would opt to seek help with different methods and and pathways, so careful if you meant to accuse someone seeking assistance.
As an FYI, the OP is making a video of exactly what happens to help those helping me. Thanks. |

Ok, so technically, if I used ImageWriter to make:
USB1: usbboot.img and USB2: slackware64-14.0-install-dvd.iso and had them both plugged in while booting... couldnt I use one to load setup, and the other to load the packages? And what are the exact commands to do this from start to finish? Im a nub. |
1. Start from the installer USB
2. When you are at the CLI login as root, as usual. 3. Now create 2 new directories, used as mountpoints for accessing the packages: Code:
mkdir /usb /iso Code:
fdisk -l Code:
mount /dev/sdc1 /usb Code:
mount -o loop /usb/slackware64-14.0-install-dvd.iso /iso |

Alien BOB's instructions work perfectly. I have done 5 installs in the last two months with usb sticks I have created follwoing his instructions. It's friggin awesome. You may have had trouble, but I can assure you that it works.

Hi,
if your problem is to mount the sources directory (which is included into the USB-images), you have several other choices to deal with the sources. For example, before you start "setup" create a directory /install/ and mount the sources there. Code:
mkdir /install Code:
/install/slackware64 Markus |
