  IIRC.  In Linux, just dd the .iso to appropriate writable media (I 
used a Sandisk USB 3.0 "thumb" drive. Then follow the instructions in 
the readme.txt file to make it bootable.

   "Persistent Changes" has been broken by the builder of the "Slax with 
Trinity" image.   However, I'm still looking to see if I can restore
