Install Slax On Hdd

Slax on USB device or hard disk. In order to run Slax. Yet there is another possibility to add new files and directories to Slax on the fly without installing. I saw that one person beat this issue by installing Slax and renaming a couple of specific. Linux sees the RAID card and not the hdd setup.

Source: I succesfully installed Slax 7 on my HDD using the./bootinst.sh command then, on boot, the system was unable to boot from the HDD. I found that when this error occurs, it is needed to change the SYSLINUX bootloader with another version (don’t know why). I tried the one suggested in the other post and it worked fine. To install the bootloader we’ll use the extlinux utility (the synopsis says that it works on ext2 / ext3 filesystems, I was on an ext2 fs).

Install Slax Linux On Hard Drive

Download syslinux-4.06.tar.gz and bring it into a newly created folder of the hdd. Then tar xvf syslinux-4.06.tar.gz cd syslinux-4.06/extlinux./extlinux -install /media/system/slax/boot/ Remember that my hdd was labelled “system” and (automatically) mounted on /media/system/.
