Hi Ibrahim.
No, there is no live install for Slint.
However:
1) Before you install it on your hard disk, you can install and run it in a
VirtualBox virtual machine. Then, choose the intel hd audio controller right
after the virtual machine creation. to prevent loss of speech during
installation.
2) If you can afford it you can install Slint in a dedicated hard drive
or SSD
which can be an an internal second drive or an external drive USB connected.
3) You can safely share a drive between Windows and Slint, if Windows
boots in
UEFI mode.
4) In any case the installer will presents you all possibilities for
installation and will let you review all installation options before writing
anything on a hard disk. If you change your mind you will be able to change
any option. If you decide to install later or not at all, after a reboot
Windows
will start as usual.
After installation you will be able to choose which system to start at
boot up.
When you will hear a sound telling you that the machine is ready to
boot, just
press Enter to start Slint or press arrow down then Enter to start Windows.
Fell free require more guidance in one of the support channels listed in the
HandBook.
Hope this helps
Didier

Thanks a million Didier,
This is a great handbook. One of the things which discouraged me from
adopting linux in the past was the lack of easy to follow
documentations. Everytime I tried, I found myself browsing in highly
technical documents that sounded like a foreign language to me. This
handbook seems to avoid this problem.
I will certainly try slint, if it can be used as a live install without
having to physically install on my hard disc. I will also browse this
handbook to learn more about slint.
Thanks for this. I will certainly need your help if I install it on my
hard disc. What I want ideally is the ability to have both linux and
windows running on the same machine, and I choose which one to start at
bootup.
Regards,
Ibrahim

Hello folks,
I have been playing with Linux mint and Accessible Coconut for over
24 hours. I am getting to like this system. However, When I
contemplated installing on my hard disk, I found the installation
process a little confusing and scary. I always reverted back and
aborted the installation to prevent an unintended damage to my
windows operating system.
If any of you have successfully managed to install linux alongside
with windows on the same hard disk, please advise me on how to go
about it safely.
Regards,
Ibrahim
