Porteus

I have got it working: Try this link it might it http://slack.conraid.net/repository/sla ... 64-8cf.txz or http://slack.conraid.net/repository/sla ... 64-4cf.txz . Next to run it I installed wxPython-2.8.12.1-x86_64-5_slonly.txz, python-pillow-4.2.1-x86_64-1.txz, reportlab-3.2.0-x86_64-1_slonly.txz...

Try this link it might it http://slack.conraid.net/repository/sla ... 64-8cf.txz or http://slack.conraid.net/repository/sla ... 64-4cf.txz . If you want me to convert to an xzm module let me know?

I built my first full Slackware DE (LXDE) today and it up good with no error as I can see. Now I am going to trim off some modules I think I don't need.

I'm sorry but I am confused. Does the dd command make the USB bootable? If not why not use the cp command?

Can I update to current after I build the USB? Can I just replace 14.2 slackware64 directory with current slackware64 directory on the USB? Do I need to update EFI, isolinux and kernels to?

I try his once but I couldn't make a bootable USB to install it on the Hard Drive.

Has anyone ever install Slackware on a Hard Drive? I downloaded 14.2 x86_64 DVD. I like to use a current version DVD ISO but I can't find any. It been 2000 or 2001 since I try to install Slackware. What software can I use to copy the ISO to a USB and then can I use the USB to install it to a Hard Dr...

Knoppix I know it'a ancient. Something changes in kernel make it unusable? Could be some microcode vs. Meltdown/spectre. But there is a reason for the old IT saying "on an old system use an old OS"... Have you ever tried Knoppix? It is known for its good Hardware debug capabilities. Maybe it is abl...
