INSTALLATION of SlackEX current to hard drive using Slack-Installer
Follow these steps:
1. Login to Xfce4 as root.
2. First, create a Linux partition of about 6 GB and a swap space of approximately 2 GB or double the size of your computer's RAM if you have RAM of 2 GB or less. (Use GParted or...).
3. Start the installation program Slack-Installer with the command slack-installer.
4. Follow the application instructions. Skip partitioning (because you pre-created an installation partition and a swap space).
5. Slack-Installer will recognize your created partitions. Choose them.
6. The actual installation takes 10-30 minutes.
7. Towards the end you will be able to install the LILO boot loader. Choose to do it if you do not already have a Linux system installed on your computer. If you have a windows system (e.g. Windows 7) installed on /dev/sda1 (your C drive) you will also be able to start it after the installation of SlackEX.
8. NOTE: If you already have at least one Linux system on your computer and use the GRUB boot loader you should finish the Slack-installer when the question of installation of LILO arise. You can then add the following lines to your /boot/grub/ menu.lst. (In the Linux system where you have installed GRUB). Then restart your computer.
