Step 2SOFTWARE
Burn the ISO
Burn the Slax ISO to a CD (I suggest you use Deepburner to burn the ISO, its freeware).
-Make sure you burn the disc as an ISO image don’t try to unpack it then burn it.
-Test your burn by putting your new disc in the computer and reboot but, make sure your BIOS is looking to boot from the CD drive first. It should boot up to Slax read on the on screen documentation to boot to a GUI desktop.
-Notice that when the boot first starts it advises press F1 for more options, remember that we will need that later.
-Hang on to this disk we’ll need it later.
Installing Myslax creator on your windows computer
-Follow the onscreen prompts all the way to create a bootable USB stick.
-You’ll be asked to add modules but, we’ll handle that later.
-For now the only setting that I would change is that you will have the opportunity to select a new desktop. Everything else leave default.
Booting the USB stick
- If your computer supports booting from a USB stick you’re done with the software portion. Just make sure your BIOS is set in the correct order to look for the stick first.
-If it doesn’t then plug a your USB stick in and put your CD in. Reboot. When it advises to press F1 for more options do it. (told you to remember that)
-This will bring up a cheat code screen. Just Type: slax nocd then press enter. This advises Slax to go out and look for the boot files elsewhere on the system it will find your USB stick and boot.
Adding software
-On the Slax home page located here www.slax.org . You will find a modules download link.
-Pick a couple to download.
-While in linux or in windows browse your USB stick you will find a folder called modules.
-Just drop your newly down loaded modules in there. Slax will find them when it boots. EASY.
-I suggest that you read and direct software questions to the forum on this site as they have excellent support.
Wireless support
- If you know anything about linux you know that it is less than friendly when it comes to drivers.
-There is no one way to get wireless cards to work. There are so many it is beyond the scope of the this project to explain them all.
-Search the forums on the Slax page for your card, someone will advise you if it isn’t already a topic.

You can also use UNetbootin to make the USB drive bootable. Its a lot easier and faster than burning the CD and then getting than on the USB drive. The program works on windows or linux. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

when Plugged into a computer, it will boot up in linux, not Windows/Mac. The Wifi is so that it has built in wifi so it can connect to the internet. The power supply is to run the Wifi and the USB, but this Whole project will only work if the computer is capable of booting through USB, if not use PLoP, or something other. (I heard GRUB works well)
