Eric Hameleers blogs once again:

It took me a while to get to a level where I could do another public update of my "liveslak" scripts for the Slackware Live Edition. The previous two articles about the Live OS generated quite some feedback and I think I was able to address a lot of those remarks and suggestions in the updated code. My TODO has however only shrunk [by] one item...

A "Beta3"[1] is what we have now. My milestone for emitting a new Beta was to have a working UEFI boot. And I hope I managed that. Works here... for what it's worth.

  - What is Slackware Live Edition?

[...] We're talking about a "live OS" here, which you can run off a CDROM, a DVD, or a USB stick and does not have to be installed to a computer hard drive. You can carry the USB stick version with you in your pocket. You'll have a pre-configured Slackware OS up & running in a minute wherever you can get your hands on a computer with a USB port. The USB version is "persistent" meaning that the OS stores your updates on the stick. The CD/DVD versions (and the USB stick if you configure it accordingly) run without persistence, which means that all the changes you make to the OS are lost on reboot.

[1] The link in TFA for "Beta3" doesn't appear to be what was intended (DIY rather than ready-to-go ISOs).
