Linux SLAX in Flashdisk.

Linux is one of the best operating system. You can get free of charge. I want give you a tutorial about how to use linux in flashdisk. You can use everywhere, anywhere you need.

In this case, we use linux SLAX. We can use install with Windows family ( NT, XP, 2003). Flashdisk with minimum space 256 MB or if you only have 128 MB, you can use SLAX frodo or popcorn.

Ok, lets do it :

Steps :

1. Format your flasdisk, in windows explorer , click right on flashdisk and choose format, use FAT32 with quick format option.

2. Download Linux SLAX at http://slax.linux-live.org. Open ISO SLAX file, and extract with winrar in flashdisk

3. Open boot directory in flashdisk, then copy all files to main directory in flashdisk.

4. Download syslinux-3.11.zip at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boots/syslinux/syslinux-3.11.zip and extract the file to directory syslinux311 on computer.

5. Run Windows command prompt and go to syslinux311 directory and move again to win32 directory in syslinux311. Type syslinux.exe z: (with assumption the flashdrive is drive z:)

6. Create syslinux.cfg file and save to flashdisk. Type these :

-------------------------------------------------
display splash.cfg
default slax
prompt 1
timeout 40
F1 splash.txt
F2 splash.cfg

label slax
kernel vmlinuz
append max_loop=255 initrd=initrd.gz init=linuxrc load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=4444 root=/dev/ram0 rw

label linux
kernel vmlinuz
append max_loop=255 initrd=initrd.gz init=linuxrc load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=4444 root=/dev/ram0 rw

label memtest
kernel memtest
------------------------------------------

In Order that your new linux can use , don't forget setting your bios ( If your BIOS support USB Boot Option). Finally you can use anywhere, anythime and any computer.
