Dick,
From the slackware wiki
<https://slackwiki.com/Install_Slackware_Using_A_USB_Flash_Drive>
the process is to first boot from a Slackware DVD or other source,
then put
the .iso on a flash drive. But, you've already have the flash drive
with the
.iso so this is the applicable sction:
Install with Unetbootin
It is possible to install with unetbootin. Download the Slackware iso
image
of your choice and then install to a USB drive using unetbootin.
Tutorials
for unetbootin are everywhere. Then, when you get to the SOURCE option in
setup use the drive you are installing slackware from (usually it is
/dev/sdb1). When it asks where the packages are, enter /slackware for
32 bit
or /slackware64 for 64 bit. This was tested using the Slackware 14.0
64-bit
x86_64 iso.
Should work for 14.2, too.
Looking at the unetbootin home page <
Should work for 14.2, too.
Looking at the unetbootin home page <https://unetbootin.github.io/> I
learned that it will work with an already downloaded .iso on a flash
drive.
I've used only optical disks to install the distribution so I cannot be
more helpful than these two URLs.
I'll probably look at these again tomorrow afternoon. I had a handful of
other things going on today, including a nail biting OSU (the eastern
one) vs. Maryland game won in overtime by a missed 2 point conversion by
Maryland, and a couple of other tasks.
Thanks to you and all the other responses.
