How to install Salix Live on a USB key?

It depends if you already have a Salix Live CD or simply an ISO image.

From a Salix Live CD

  1. Boot a Live session from the CD.
  2. Insert your USB key.
  3. Use LiveClone.

From an ISO image

  1. Open the ISO file using a software archiver (file-roller, xarchiver, 7-zip, iso-master, …)
  2. Extract all files and folders (boot, packages and salixlive) to your USB root directory
  3. Go to the "boot" directory on the USB key.
    • If you're on Unix (Linux, BSD, Max OS X), simply execute the file called "install-on-USB.sh" (root privileges are required)
    • If you're on Windows, execute the file called "install-on-USB.cmd" instead.
