Title: SLAX cryptominer 0.1 (x64) Post by: fran2k on December 29, 2013, 08:36:07 AM I just saw this (http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMining/comments/1twpxj/slax_cryptominer_01/) on Reddit. Great because I was looking some Linux x64 dedicated mining distro. :D The only option available was the BAMT 0.5 x64, which is quite old.
Quote hi, i just modified slax linux distro specifically for gpu and cpu mining, i prefer slax because you can run it without any storage device (harddisk or flashdisk) since it can copy itself entirely to run from PC memory, which is cool ! slax-miner-x64-0.1 download-x64 127MB (https://mega.co.nz/#!gop3FYib!N2Hak0WTijbHVSupwaVpinYffsIQYZrthpJakvIycNA) features : only need minimal 512 MB flash disk you can run with unpluged flash disk since slax can copy itself to run from computer RAM built-in cgminer-3.7.2 with for openCL scrypt and sha256 mining built-in jhProtoMiner from yvg1900 all 64-bit variations for cpu mining minimal installation only x.org and blackbox desktop, mostly you will need to operate it via SSH anyway how to install : extract the content of .7z file to your formatted flash disk with FAT32 partition run [FLASHDISK]\slax\boot\bootinst.bat boot from it run "aticonfig --lsa" to list your detected gpu run "aticonfig --adapter=all --initial" to configure to your gpu setup reboot how to run : miner software located at /opt/cgminer and /opt/ptsminer you can run example script just by running "start-cgminer" or "start-ptsminer" to connect from remote, use ssh client such as putty, login with root, password toor Title: Re: SLAX cryptominer 0.1 (x64) Post by: jamesc760 on December 29, 2013, 12:52:13 PM thank you! i will try this out next week and will report!
