+ | Note that the /dev/sdxx part of the command above specifies the location to where you need to write the iso's files to; it is not the source media where the iso is on ! With the iso file as install source option, you should hence specify the exact location where the slitaz iso source file is located. If it is located at /home/tux (while running slitaz from a non-live version), write "tazusb gen-iso2usb /home/tux/slitaz.iso /dev/sdxx". If the source file is found on an external hard disk, mention the folder in which the media's files are outputted to - check this with PCManFM (in practice the folder can be something like /media/disk). So, the command you'd need to write with the latter would be something like "tazusb gen-iso2usb /media/disk/slitaz.iso /dev/sdxx" | ||
