The Slackel Live Installer (SLI) supports installation on different filesystems (btrfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, jfs, reiserfs, xfs). You can use a different partition for /home. You can find and add Windows partitions in grub.cfg. Note that if you use eLilo as your bootloader, you will not be able to boot Windows partitions.

Installation on EFI GPT partitions is also supported for 64bit iso. In this case you have to create a gpt partition table with gparted.
The following partitions should be created:
– the first partition has to be at least 300MB and use the FAT32 filesystem
– the second partition has to be a Linux partition of any type. NOTE: if you choose grub then the partition cannot be in xfs filesystem because system will not boot after installation, as grub does not support xfs properly. If you want to use xfs as your filesystem you must also use the eLilo boot loader.
– you can optionally add a third partition for /home
– and of course a swap partition
– Important! Before proceeding with the installation you must flag the first FAT32 partition as bootable. You can also do this using GParted.
