How to put Slax to USB drive or disk

• Download Slax for USB in TAR format (ZIP archive).
• Extract (unzip) the archive directly to your USB flash key, to an MP3 player or even to a Hard Disk.

How to make it bootable

• When Slax is unpacked to your device, it will create ‘/boot/’ and ‘/slax/’ directories there.
• Navigate to the newly created /boot/ directory and run bootinst.sh script (if you are in Linux) or bootinst.bat script (if you are in Windows).
• It will install syslinux bootloader to your device’s MBR (master boot record). Syslinux works only on FAT filesystem (which is widely used on most USB flash keys, Cameras and MP3 players). You are done.
