I am going to start over with v. 6.0.8 and have a few questions: 1.- Is there an advantage to using the installation iso rather than the live session iso to install Slackel? 2.- I have multiple operating systems installed on multiple computers and Slackware derivatives won't let me use the user and ...

This is an uncommon event, then.
