Operating Systems Linux Slackware Which USB pendrive image to install Slackware on an old AMD K6 3D ? Post 302449378 by Corona688 on Monday 30th of August 2010 11:32:00 AM

USB boot is frequently broken even on modern machines, it seems unlikely that your AMD K6 will have it at all. Slackware doesn't appear to have USB booting drives for sale, either. You might be able to use an external USB cdrom, but that hope seems thin.

Your best bet would be to replace the CDROM drive. Unless this machine is a laptop that shouldn't be too difficult.
