All Slackware releases since 14.2, including the development version ''-current'', are supported versions for the ''liveslak'' project. The Live OS which liveslak creates from the Slackware Distro can be run from a DVD or a USB stick. It is an ISO image meant to be a showcase of what Slackware is about. You get the default install, no custom packages or kernel, but with all the power of Slackware. The ISO is created from scratch using a Slackware package mirror, by the "liveslak" scripts. Slackware Live Edition does not have to be installed to a computer hard drive (however you do have that choice if you want to: using the setup2hd script). You can carry the USB stick version with you in your pocket. You'll have a pre-configured Slackware OS up & running in a minute wherever you can get your hands on a computer with a USB port. @@ -31,14 +31,14 @@ The reasons I had for creating the Slackware Live Edition are as follows: The "liveslak" scripts can generate a variety of Slackware flavors: - - a complete 64bit Slackware-current Live Edition (in a 4.0 GB ISO); + - a complete 64bit Slackware-current Live Edition (in a 4.4 GB ISO); - a slimmed-down XFCE ISO (700 MB) with XDM as the graphical login manager.
