SLAX 6.0.0 has been released View |
| SLAX 6 is released. What's new? First, SLAX is officially released in two forms - ISO and TAR. The ISO format (labelled as 'SLAX for CD') is to be burnt to a CD, while the TAR format (labelled as 'SLAX for USB') is for all who need to run SLAX directly from USB media or from a disk. Simply unzip the tar archive directly to your device (to its root directory, it will create 'boot' and 'slax' subdirectories). That's almost all; you only need to make it bootable. For that purpose, navigate to the 'boot' directory and find bootinst.sh (if you are in Linux) or bootinst.bat (if you are in Windows). Run it. Linux users will need to use root account for that. The script will setup the device to be bootable. If you are using 'SLAX for USB', you will notice that all the changes you made are permanent. |

SLAX 6.0.0 RC5 is available View |
| This is Slax6 release candidate 5, including a few modules and 27 languages. Slax 6 rc5 still includes Linux Kernel 2.6.21.5 and KDE 3.5.7. The Slackware base has been upgraded to Slackware 12.0. Klaptopdaemon has been recompiled in order to show the tray icon properly. Slax now shutdowns properly, while it did reboot instead of shutdown in rc4. Removal of modules by using Slax Module Manager is fixed, it did allow a busy aufs branch to be removed in rc4, which may cause troubles... |

SLAX 6.0.0 RC4 is available View |
| This is SLAX 6 release candidate 4, including a few modules and 27 languages. SLAX 6 rc4 includes Linux Kernel 2.6.21.5, KDE 3.5.7 and the newest technologies from Linux-Live, Squashfs and Slackware current. Language modules: simply download the directory for your language and copy it over SLAX, overwriting the original initrd.gz file. Firefox and Thunderbird modules: these are created from Slackware packages, but I modified them, because Mozilla applications look so ugly in Linux. Now they are very nice. |

SLAX 5.1.8 has been released now View |
| SLAX 5.1.8 has been released. This release includes a SLAX-boot CD (only a 5MB ISO image) designed to boot SLAX from USB keys in case your BIOS doesn't support it. Users can just plug in the USB key with SLAX data to boot from this CD and it can also be used to boot SLAX directly from an ISO file. Changes made in 5.1.8: added KDE 3.5.4, recompiled with some Slackware 11 fixes; better handling of booting from USB devices; added NTFS-3g to fully support writing to NTFS partitions; added slaxsave.zip to SLAX CD, containing pre-built loop file systems. |

Just unpack your desired file to root of some partition (you can use USB key as well) and SLAX will save changes to the file automatically. |
