Slackware Live Edition knows two user accounts: “root” and “live”. In other words, there is no persistence of data. The changes will actually be kept in a RAM disk, so a reboot will “reset” the live OS to its original default state. Both methods will give you a live environment which will allow you to make changes and seemingly “write them to disk”.
The ISO images are hybrid, which means you can either burn them to DVD, or use 'dd' or 'cp' to copy the ISO to a USB stick. In order to protect your sensitive private data in case you lose your USB stick (or in case it gets stolen) you can enhance your persistent USB Live OS with an encrypted homedirectory and/or an encrypted persistence file, to be unlocked on boot with a passphrase that only you know. The CD/DVD versions (and the USB stick if you configure it accordingly) operate without persistence, which means that all the changes you make to the OS are lost when you reboot. The USB version is “persistent” - meaning that the OS stores your updates on the USB stick. You'll have a pre-configured Slackware OS up & running in a minute wherever you can get your hands on a computer with a USB port. You can carry the USB stick version with you in your pocket. Slackware Live Edition does not have to be installed to a computer hard drive ( however you do have that choice if you want to: using the setup2hd script). The ISO is created from scratch using a Slackware package mirror, by the “liveslak” scripts. You get the default install, no custom packages or kernel, but with all the power of Slackware. It is an ISO image meant to be a showcase of what Slackware is about. If it has a different name, replace MyVolume in these commands with the name of your volume.Welcome to the Slackware Live Edition!
