Tunix on live cd (no install) based on Slax Linux

Post by tasmod »

I posted this elsewhere but thought this was the place for it.

I have made a live cd iso of Slax linux with MegaTunix 0.9.21 on it. This is latest version.

A live CD means you can run it entirely from CD and NOT install it for use. So anyone, even Windows users, can try MegaTunix and Linux without altering or losing their operating system.

Download MegaSlax iso from here

A few details for non techie types.

If you want to try this on Windows you will need a program to burn the iso to a cd. It is known as a Live CD as you can run entirely from CD and it doesn't install.
Then you need to make sure your PC bios is set to boot from CD first. This is the usual message you get at bootup about pressing del or F1 or somesuch key to enter bios.

Insert the newly burned CD and boot.
There is a menu choice, if you have say 512meg ram and above you can choose to load to ram, this runs faster. This will free your CD drive else just let it time out for first option which is run from CD disk.
There is an icon on desktop for MegaTunux (spelling from original CD) click this and off you go.

Thanks Mike,

I've amended the link.

I've been all over the world and it always amazes me how small it really is in terms of people. I met people in NZ who came from next village!

Yours is one of the sites i was perusing last week. :D

I can't seem to get the link to work. It defaults to the host main page. Am I missing something here?

I just posted in a thread just like this one asking some questions about the availability of the Live CD .iso file, and MTx compatibility with MS3, but that was in the MS2/Extra area. Seems like maybe I should have posted in this one had I known it was here. . . So, is a current .iso available? I'd host one if necessary.

Thanks!
