can you help me how can i boot slax in my pc.
thanks in advance.

It can be run only from the live CD. It cannot be installed. You boot from the
live CD and there are some options. I cannot remember them exactly. There is the
option of running from CD, there is an option of copying the operating system to
RAM (you can do it if you have enough RAM , as Slax is of 190 MB approximately.
There is also an option I cannot understand what kind of graphics but thei icons
were big on the desktop and there is also an option for the text mode, which I
cannot use, of course.
Slax is a wonderful rescue tool for copying files from one partition to
another or for copying them to CD or DVD. I just scavenged for files from my
Windows, Ubuntu and Mandriva partitions and burned them to DVD with K3B.
But Ubuntu run from the live CD is also a very good rescue tool if the
computer is powerful enough.
I tried to install that version for the stick on my memory stick (Jetflash)
but it seems that I failed. There is the option of booting from the flash drive,
but then..."Disk error, press any key to restart". When I press a key the same
message appears. I had to reboot my PC to get rid of this.

i was just about to try it. An alternative is
puppy linux i believe - it good from my brief experiment - the other
DSL i wasn't too impressed with. Puppy is as they say on the website
'small and fast'.

I failed booting Puppy Linux. It seems that I managed to make only CDs with
defects or the CD images that I downloaded were with defects or the computer
downloaded them not properly.

I downloaded Puppy the other night at work to see what Puppy was all
about out of curiosity, and Puppy seems to be quite a robust and very
clean Live CD to run. The developer " ibiblio " has done a very nice
job. After you run the Live CD version and get your desktop / network
/ internet environment configured upon exiting (rebooting) out of
Puppy this distro will allow you to save your settings and any
installed software to a configuration file that is saved to a USB
flash drive or any hard drive on you PC without affecting the OS
loaded on you hard drive.

Puppy Live CD kernel loads to your RAM so it is very responsive.
Applications are loaded as you use them off the CD and then stay
resident in memory. So if you re-open the web browser a second time
it comes up quick
I like it over Slack. Slack is OK when you have 1 Gig or more of Ram
available, otherwise at 512 Meg or less it was unstable. DSL and Puppy
work very well with 512 Meg of RAM.
.

I have Puppy and will now give it another go on my vista laptop as a
duel boot.

I like the idea of the saved settings.
