From Windows
A SliTaz Live USB installation can be performed using:
Fat32 or NTFS filesystems cause slim login manager error: Failed To Execute Login Command
SliTaz runs in RAM so after booting it no longer needs the flash drive.
This enables you to reformat the flash drive to a linux filesystem and reinstall SliTaz.
- Copy the slitaz.iso to the root of the flash drive.
- Boot into SliTaz with the flash drive,login root, password: root
- Mount the flash drive,copy the slitaz.iso to /root
- Use From SliTaz instructions above to format the flash drive ext2, reinstall SliTaz using ISO file as install source.
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
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.
