Default Anyone tried Slax?

I downloaded and installed Slax last night. It was really pretty cool. I hit a point though of not really knowing what to do. I was afraid of messing something up so I only logged into guest. The best part of all was not knowing how to get back to Windows. I was used to Mandrake Move 2.0 popping out the CD for me and making it all automatic. Anyone else tried it?

Default Indeed I have..

I've had it, tried to put it on my other partition, but can't get LILO to work correctly.

I agree, it is pretty awesome.

Woa. I thought you could only use it as a live CD. But you can dual boot with it?

Yeah, you can dual boot with it. You're going to have to edit the partitions on your own with some external editor though, I don't believe Slax comes with one. I could be wrong though.
