Yes, but the noise level in a.o.l.s is a little high at the moment ;)


Compared to some other news groups unfortunately it is a model of civility
and restraint. :-(

Alternate slack-12 boot methods are available, PXE and USB, in the
usb-and-pxe-installers directory on the install DVD. See the READMEs.

I did as a temporary dodge at one point boot Slax from a USB stick and then
do chroot to the root of an external hard drive. Not quite what the OP
wants but works in a pinch.
