"What is new: slim login manager is used as default; Gdm exists also but it is not used because of font rendering problems; Slackel Live Installer (SLI) can now do a real installation to an external USB stick or USB SSD or USB hard disk, creating the necessary initrd for booting - for this, just create an MSDOS partition table on /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc and a Linux ext4 partition on /dev/sdb1 or on /dev/sdc1 where /dev/sdb is your first USB device, /dev/sdc the second USB plug in device, sign the /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc1 bootable, create also a Linux swap partition to /dev/sdb2 or /dev/sdc2, with a size of 2 GB or 4 GB depending on the available memory; if you boot using a Slackel live Openbox DVD then your external USB device will be recognized as /dev/sdb, but if you boot using a Slackel Live Openbox USB then the second USB you will use for real installation will be recognized as /dev/sdc.
