Just another step on our mission to world domination
Too late ... But then I have been away for a couple of weeks.
Just to congratulate the whole LiveCD team for having provided this nice piece of work. Also the User Guide looks very nice. Thank you, Akuna, and all the others I do not know...
Have done a poor man's install. And am testing now. So far no problems. Saw a few Slackware packages have been replaced with Salix packages but same version number. Guess no problem if I keep those Slackware packages for the time being.
Might come back later if any problems arise!
Repeat : Salix Live is too good. Make a little bit more noise so that more people are aware ...

I was hoping this would be an exciting but it just lacks and installling grub2 to the USB key, was that really necessary?
The same way you go about removing any loader from the MBR of any device. By overwriting the first 440 Bytes with zeroes. Something like (with e.g. sda as <your dev>):
This is stupid! When other LiveCD will install syslinux on you USB key, it will simply overwrite grub2, so what's the point ?
The rest of you post is just FUDD.
