I want to add SLAX Linux as a boot option in EasyBoot.  I extracted the bootable ISO into disk1 directory and tried to use the command "run isolinux.bin" and this returns errors (the error message goes by so fast followed by a reboot, I can't read it).  Obviously this doesn't work.  Has anyone had success booting SLAX or know how it might be done in EasyBoot 5?  I don't know much about linux, but seeing how SLAX is a FREE CD-Bootable GUI OS less than 200MB, I want it included on my cd.  Thanks.

PS  I read the posts and replies regarding the Knoppix topic, but I'm guessing SLAX boots differently.

EasyBoot works with SLAX 4.1.3. Please do it this way:

1) Open slax-4.1.3.iso by UltraISO
2) Save boot file to c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot\slax.bif by 'Bootable'->'Save boot file'
3) Extract all files and folders from the ISO file to c:\easyboot\disk1
4) Use 'bootinfotable;run slax.bif" as menu item command in EasyBoot to load SLAX
