A bootable DVD image of all available packages version is generated every day. See http://www.slitaz.org/en/get/ . Both cooking or stable versions are built; they contain:
It is designed to be used without an internet connection.
The ISO image should be burned onto a DVD using:
# wodim -v dev=/dev/dvd packages-cooking.iso
It can also be written onto a USB key (say the key is /dev/usbkey). USE WITH CAUTION this will erase all your data.
# dd if=packages-cooking.iso of=/dev/usbkey
After writing the USB key, you can create partitions to get back the remaining storage.
# fdisk /dev/usbkey
The USB key is bootable. If your BIOS doesn't support USB boot, you can boot plop from http://www.slitaz.org/en/get/#floppy floppy.
The files on the ISO image are ordered in 5 groups:
The four first groups fit in the first 100-200Mb of the ISO image. If you don't need the packages, you can burn it onto a mini-cdrom (8cm/210Mb)
# wodim -v dev=/dev/cdrom packages-cooking.iso
The packages are stored in alphabetical order. 915resolution should likely be present but zsh surely not. The directories are stored at the beginning of the image and are always present. If you try to load a non-present package (zsh) you will get an I/O error.
Both core and loram (loram-cdrom to be exact) boot files are stored in the ISO image. The default boot entry (slitaz) will select which to start according to your RAM size. You can force the choice with core or loram keyword:
boot: loram screen=1280x1024
With core boot you can:
You can't do that with loram boot because it has /usr mounted read-only from the DVD. You can install slitaz on a hard disk with both boot files.
During boot the following is performed:
Note: USB key users should read USB key instead of DVD
