I might need drivers for Basic Salix.

The first persistent file I created was 3999 MB. The shutdown was too long. It may have exceeded 5 minutes, as I recall. I did install as hdd to usb the basic version. I liked it. I believe that's what I want, and what I should have been working with all along. However, this installed version has no...

Well, I used instonusb, the version you corrected re encryption, to copy iso to usb. It was good (no encryption, no prompt), until I put desired apps on it with Gslapt. Unfortunately, there comes a point when the full install-copy just bogs down with lag. So I would like to see the basic Salix. More...

I did a hard drive install to usb from boot usb. The result is a laggy Salix, where there's a 10-second lag on a mouse click. It's unusable. So I inspected the code for the install_iso_on_usb.sh script. I can see the script gives a choice for encryption. Unfortunately, I don't understand the format,...

I'm sorry, I don't see a setting on the instonusb gui to de-select encryption. I have been leaving the passphrase empty for the last three installs, but this doesn't prevent the prompt from interrupting the boot, and ignoring the passphrase, leaving it blank, doesn't stop encryption. I don't want en...

Thanks, Djamel, I have salix_installation_guide.pdf and README_SALIXLIVE_INSTALL_ON_USB.TXT downloaded. If anybody wants work with iso9660 file systems, you probably want Cdrtools , rather than the knockoffs you get from distro repositories (eg, Ubuntu's genisoimage replacement for mkisofs). Cdrtool...

Happy to report that both installs succeeded. Setting the boot flag on the partition was unnecessary and most likely overwritten. Where the boot flag normally appears in Gparted, there is "msftdata" instead of boot. Thereafter, I installed most of the apps I wanted, and uninstalled LibreOf...

instonusb installer doesn't see MBR ("not present"), then writes GPT to target usb drive. one[~]$ sudo instonusb We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things: #1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think befo...

balenaEtcher Etcher is primarily used through a graphical user interface. Additionally, there is a command line interface available which is under active development. Future planned features include support for persistent storage allowing live SD card or USB flash drive to be used as a hard drive, ...

I had one more observation about the sli gui to install SalixOS Live. I used sli to "successfully" install Salix Live to hard drive, where the USB was presumed and prepared to be the hard drive. The final execution buttons are located in the middle of the sli gui. In my experience, the ord...
