(edit: fixed the wrong command as “Frustrated Slax User” suggested)
It’s a pretty easy task but, every time, I made some mistake …
Here’s the full procedure.
Step 1: Turn Off the Laptop, plug the USB into, then boot into the USB. From the wifiSlax screen, select the third line to go to English Menus. Step 2: Then select the first Line to start running wifiSlax OS. Step 3: Select Wifislax With KDE Desktop. Step 4: Wait for seconds to go to Wifislax Dektop. Download the.tar version (also may be labeled as the USB version) of Slax from Install 7-Zip or another archiving application that is capable of extracting.tar files. Insert a USB memory stick into your PC. Must be at least 256mb. I wanted a usb linux install. I've tried slax (and puppylinux.) I've used unetbootin, and regular install. That isn't the problem. They install fine, and work with eithernet cable. I simply cannot get either to work in Wireless Mode. This computer that I installed these with, is: Dell Latitude 2100, with XP.
Nov 10, 2010 Wifi Radar is easy to install as well as use. Since Wifi Radar is found in most all default distribution repositories, the installation is as simple as installing any Linux application. Just open up your Add/Remove Software tool and install. Once Wifi Radar is installed you can find it in Applications Internet. When you start up Wifi Radar it. Install Slax on hard disk or USB flash drive In order to run Slax from hard drive or from an USB device, you need to copy the contents of the ISO file directly to your disk's root. There is just one folder called /slax/, which needs to be copied. For example Windows 8.1 will simply open the ISO file for you as like if it was a directory.
Tip, before you begin:
if you are in a liveCD environment, you’ll need to configure two cdrom readers.
First you need the linux sources / headers, because the modules will be built into the kernel.
Install Wifi Slax On Usb Driver
Then, from your host, you have to mount the .iso Guest Additions file.
On Windows you can find the file in C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBoxVBoxGuestAdditions.iso.
On Linux it is in /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso
Finally we can launch the installer within the guest VM. We have to mount the virtual cdrom
then
Done! =)
If something went wrong check the logs in /var/log/VBoxGuestAdditions.log
To verify if one module is currently running you can use the modinfo command: modinfo vboxvideo.
To start one module’s daemon there is the VBoxClient command. I.e. running VBoxCLient –display will starts the video driver daemon (that allows the guest automatic resize).
Slax is a great LiveCD linux distribution based on Slackware that fits in your pocket. One of the great features is the modular approach that is used for the packages, which are known as modules in Slax. Got a small USB stick that you no longer use? Put Slax on it.
This guide shows you how to install Slax linux to a USB memory stick.
Download and Extract:
Download the .tar version (also may be labeled as the USB version) of Slax from http://www.slax.org/get_slax.php.
Install 7-Zip or another archiving application that is capable of extracting .tar files.
Insert a USB memory stick into your PC. Must be at least 256mb.
Format the USB stick as FAT32 if it currently formatted with some other file system.
Open the slax.tar file that you downloaded, in your archive program of choice.
Extract the archive to the root of your USB memory stick. In this example, my USB memory stick is set as “I:”.
Installation using Windows XP:
Open Windows explorer and browse to the drive letter of your USB memory stick.
Go into the “boot” sub folder.
Double click the “bootinst.bat” batch file.
Installation using Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 2008 / or newer:
Open a command prompt window “as administrator”. Meaning, right click a shortcut for the command prompt, and select “Run as administrator”.
Change to the drive letter of your USB memory stick by simply typing the drive letter, followed by :
Eg:
Change directory to the “boot” folder.
Install Wifi Slax On Usb
Run the bootinst.bat script.
The bootinst installation script:
If you have a card reader installed, you may get some warnings about not having a disk in a drive. You can hit “Cancel” on those.
You will be presented with a Slax boot installer warning screen.
Make sure this specifies your USB drive letter correctly, so it doesn’t corrupt any other drives in your system.
Press any key to continue, or close the window if you do not want to continue.
The script will update the master boot record on the USB memory stick, and should now be bootable.
You can now “safely remove” the USB device from Windows, unplug it, and use it to boot into Slax.
