Quote from: Slax Developer

SLAX is primarily designed to run from CD or USB (or any other removable device) without installing. I put a lot of effort to make it work as a Live OS, so you shouldn't ruin all my work by asking for harddisk installer. If you'd like to have a regular Linux installed on your computer, you should definitely install something else, not SLAX. My advise is: Go for Slackware, I'm using it too, it's the best system for those who are not lazy to learn NEW things.

If you're machine is an old one, you might try dsl or netbsd.
So you mean only i can use it as live OS? any ways thank you for your HELP and reply i have already use dsl and puppy now i want to try something else what do you advise me to use ? i have very poor machine 600Mhz 256RAM Compaq



If you followed the link, the developer says don't try to install slax, but then he goes on to say how it can be done. Important point being it can be done.

You'd be surprised what linux can do with old computers. I'm sure just about any linux flavor would run fine on your box. I use OpenSuSE on my computer at home. I'm sure it would be fine on your computer, just don't try playing the 3d games.
I would also recommend Playing with BeOS. It can easily make good use of a very SLOW computer.

It's out of development now, but still very stable.Last week i had Suse 9.0 it was slow i reinstall puppy and i will try BeOS thank you for helping me to use these Distros.

i will download it now....
You may want to know that BeOS isn't a linux distro. It is its own operating system. No relation to unix or linux or anything.Ok thank you for replying me ok you mean BeOS is diffirent then all other linux Distro.?
Ok i'll download it and i'll try it now
thank you agaqin
