SLAX on USB how to

The very first Linux distribution that I have tried as a full install for a server was Slackware. I still have some preference to Slackware but given the improvements and features from Ubuntu made it difficult for me to tinker with Slackware again. However, this tutorial on how to install Slax on a USB thumbdrive will surely make it easier for me to try it again.

Unfortunately, this only works if you have a machine that allows booting off of your USB port! At least the Asus Eee PC can do that! Hehehe.

    I think SLAX on a USB drive is the cat’s meow, though multibooting with knoppix and Backtrack makes for a very flexible system.

    Have a look at a GRUB booted SLAX install here: http://www.ab9il.net/flashlinux.html
