$ su root
# fdisk -l
# tazusb format /dev/sdxx

Wait…. and then reboot!

From Windows

A SliTaz Live USB installation can be performed using:

Slitaz with xorg-server and persistent /home requires a linux filesystem (ext2,ext3) or regular users will be unable to login to an X-session.

Fat32 or ntfs filesystems cause slim login manager error: Failed To Execute Login Command

Solution:
Boot into SliTaz,reinstall SliTaz to flashdrive with linux filesystem.

  1. Install SliTaz with LinuxLive USB Creator,Universal USB Installer or rufus
  2. While still in windows copy the slitaz.iso to the root of the flash drive.
  3. Boot into SliTaz,login root, password: root
  4. Mount the flash drive,copy the slitaz.iso to /root

Follow the From SliTaz instructions above to format the flash drive ext2 using Iso file as install source.

Tazusb.exe and Unetbootin do not work with any cooking.iso or slitaz-4.0.iso (core 4-in-1) .

They will work with slitaz-4.0-core.iso or another single rootfs.gz flavor found here.

Using TazUSB

The binary file TazUSB.exe is a windows executable that installs an iso file on a USB drive.

  • download TazUSB executable for Windows: tazusb.exe (the sources are available here tazusb.nsi)
  • plug in your USB drive and format it in FAT32 (formatting might not be required),
  • launch TazUSB application by double-clicking on TazUSB.exe executable file,
  • choose the language,
  • select the destination USB drive (double-check that the letter refers to the correct drive),
  • select the Slitaz iso
Using UNetbootin
  • standard version (Windows | Linux) : select SliTaz ISO from the Distribution list in unetbootin, or
  • custom SliTaz version (Windows | Linux).

To create a Live USB, select “USB Drive” under installation type.

You can also choose to do frugal install. To perform a Frugal Install, select “Hard Disk” under installation type.

SliTaz 4.0 kernel panic (not booting)

In Slitaz 4.0 the rootfs file is divided into 4 parts which is a problem with tazusb.exe and UNetbootin. For Slitaz to work with tazusb.exe and Unetbootin you must download the core flavor of SliTaz consisting of a single file rootfs.
