SLAX Cheatcodes. Cheatcodes for SLAX Booting parameters or cheatcodes, are used to manipulate the booting process of Linux.
Some of them are common for all Linux versions, others are specific to SLAX only. You can use cheatcodes to enable or disable specific hardware detection, to start SLAX from a harddisk or other media, to skip the login prompt and start GUI, etc. The Process: With SLAX installed, start to boot your computer waiting until the Slax logo appears with a boot menu. Select your entry and hit Tab key, enabling you to edit the command string. SLAX Cheatcodes and their functions: acpi=off nohotplug nopcmcia noagp disables specified hardware autodetection in the case of hangups.

Load=module. Knoppix Cheatcodes. Create a Larger than 4GB Casper Partition. The following tutorial will show you one way to create a casper-rw partition on your USB flash drive.
The benefit of using a casper-rw partition as opposed to a casper-rw block file is that you can expand your persistent storage beyond 4GB. This is very useful if you have a flash drive that is 8GB or larger and you want to use all of it's remaining space for persistent storage. The drawback is that Windows will not see the secondary casper-rw partition (in Windows, your drive will appear to be smaller than it is). This tutorial assumes that you have already created a bootable USB Flash Drive that contains Ubuntu or an Ubuntu based Live Distro like Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Linux Mint, Crunchbang, etc. You should delete any existing casper-rw file from the drive to free up all available space before proceeding. Once the pending operations have completed, simply close the Window and restart Booting from your Flash Drive. Supported Linuxes. LinuxLive USB Creator is currently supporting these Linux distributions: .IMG files are supported but it's experimental: it works only with a Live mode (no persistence) and no virtualization (because there is not enough free space on the USB key after writing the IMG file).
LinuxLive USB Creator will only burn the .IMG on your USB key, nothing more. These versions should work but I will provide no support whatsoever: Any modified variants of the supported versions (like translated ISO)Any Linux using syslinux or grub and USB boot capable (most of them are)Any non "Live" version of the supported Linuxes (but only for booting and installing on disk since they are not "Live") These versions WILL NOT WORK: BSD variantsISO of Windows XP or Mac OSX If you want me to add support for another Linux distribution, please use the Submit a Linux form.
